Strategic advisory & interim executive product leadership for scaling platforms and enterprise environments

Moving from fragmented pilots to core business value requires more than prompt experiments; it demands systems thinking, disciplined architecture, and organizational rewiring.

SKMG is the executive consulting and interim product leadership practice of Nathan Skwortsow. With 20+ years of product and technology leadership, scaling B2B SaaS platforms from inception to IPO, managing enterprise migrations across regulated ecosystems, and designing production-grade agentic workflows, Nathan bridges board-level strategy with pragmatic engineering execution.

Core Focus Areas

Interim Product Leadership (CPO / Head of Product)‍

• Stepping into executive MT and portfolio roles during inflection points: platform modernizations, M&A integration, or international scale.
• Aligning distributed product and engineering teams around measurable outcomes rather than feature-delivery rituals.
• Establishing product governance, discovery frameworks, and outcome-driven roadmaps.
• Structuring multi-application portfolios to eliminate bottlenecks and optimize operational leverage.

Enterprise AI Transformation & Operating Models

• Translating AI strategy into production-grade systems that deliver defensible ROI (Rewired for the AI Era).
• Moving beyond superficial chatbots: designing deterministic agentic architectures, multi-agent orchestration, and standardized context protocols (MCP).
• Aligning modern AI capabilities with enterprise non-functional requirements (NFRs): data residency, ISO compliance, security, and low-latency performance
• Re-architecting operational workflows from human bottlenecks into automated feedback loops (The AI Factory model).

Platform Modernization‍

• Untangling complex enterprise landscapes and multi-system dependencies.
• Designing API-first integration architectures and modular capabilities to replace brittle point-to-point connections.
• Balancing global architecture standards with local market execution without accumulating crippling technical debt.
• Navigating stakeholder matrices: driving high-stakes alignment across executive boards, commercial leaders, and technical teams.
