Why DrCPO
Plenty of people will teach you product. Few will run it with you and show you the path to new revenue.
Others rent you a CPO, sell you a course, or hand you a tool. DrCPO runs product with you, shows you the path to new revenue, and leaves your team with the skills to deliver outcomes, not just output.
