Turning ideas into products people actually want.
KG is a Malaysia-based product consultant who embeds directly into your team, with the strategy, execution, and accountability of a co-founder, on a flexible engagement model. Specialising in product strategy, 0→1 development and go-to-market.
Most products die between idea and launch.
Companies invest in plans, workshops, and presentations, then struggle to close the gap to an actual product. By the time they hire a team, gather user feedback, or finalize a roadmap, months have passed and the window has narrowed. The ideas were never the problem. Execution is.
A strategy deck isn't the same as someone building alongside you.
You brought in a consultant. You got a framework and a follow-up email. But when the real product decisions need to be made (scope, users, tradeoffs), you're still on your own. Speed to shipping is a function of proximity, not credentials.
What does an Embedded Product Consultant do?
A traditional consultant delivers a framework and leaves. An embedded product consultant delivers a working product. KG integrates into your team, running discovery, owning the roadmap, and staying accountable through launch and beyond.
As a chartered management accountant (ACMA, CGMA), KG brings both product thinking and financial discipline to every engagement, building products that are commercially viable, not just user-friendly.
Understand what users need and what the market will bear.
Run user interviews, map the opportunity, and audit the competitive landscape. Identify what has been tried before and why it didn't land. Build a clear picture of the product you need to build versus the one you're tempted to build.
Build the product structure that serves the strategy.
Define the MVP scope, map the user journeys, set roadmap priorities, and establish the metrics that matter. Create specifications and designs clear enough that the team can execute without ambiguity. Not a deck, a build plan.
Ship alongside your team until it sticks.
Run sprints, own the backlog, make decisions in the room when they need to be made. The engagement ends when your product is live, your team can maintain it independently, and users are actually using it. Not before.
What I bring
