What Our Clients Are Saying
"I first encountered Prodify in a working session sponsored by one of our investors at Savonix and was impressed. As a result I brought Rajesh on as a product advisor to help us transition to a product-driven, user-centric organization. He went on to do a great job as an Interim VP of Product. In that role he was instrumental in building out our product team and processes and to convert my vision as the founder into a product vision and strategy grounded in buyer and user insights. For any startup founders or CEOs looking for product help, the team at Prodify are change makers that will drive your organization forward."

Whoop
"Ben was instrumental in helping us hire a Chief Product Officer. In a short time, he envisioned and delivered a robust hiring plan including in-depth interview questions, a clever candidate assignment, and a thorough candidate scorecard. He personally interviewed our finalists and provided valuable and novel insights on each. The process was outstanding every step of the way. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who has needs to hire a top-quality product executive."
Rob Wenger
CEO
Higher Logic
"I first met Rajesh through a colleague and sought his advice on how to sell to bigger financial institutions. Through our calls, he really helped nail down our early product marketing to land that first client. He also pushed my own product thinking on roadmapping to not only focus on the features and milestones but also communicating HOW and WHY those were the right things to work on to get the business to the next inflection point. Prodify really helped me build product momentum early on."
