About Clint Pracher

Meet Clint Pracher

Founder and Principal Advisor

Half-body portrait of Clint Pracher, early 40s, smiling confidently in a bright minimalist home office.

I’m Clint Pracher. I work with founders and CEOs of scaling SaaS companies when growth starts to break the systems that used to work.

Most of the teams I work with are not failing. They’re overwhelmed. Priorities are fragmented, execution feels inconsistent, leadership narratives do not fully line up, and founders carry more decisions than they should. On the surface this looks like an execution problem. In reality, it is usually a decision system that has not kept up with scale.

My work is strategic and architectural, not operational. I help leadership teams surface the real constraints holding them back, name the tradeoffs they have been avoiding, and rebuild product decision systems that support growth without adding unnecessary process or burning people out.

I work primarily at the product portfolio level. That means helping leaders decide what truly deserves investment, what needs to stop, and how decisions should be made as complexity increases. The goal is not more output, but better judgment at scale.

Many experienced teams fall into the same pattern as they scale: lots of execution, not enough clarity.

My Product Philosophy

I believe most product organizations don’t break because teams lack talent, effort, or expertise. They break because the systems that once helped them decide what matters become outdated as complexity increases.

When priorities are unclear, ownership is diffused, and tradeoffs are avoided, execution slows and leaders become the bottleneck. My work focuses on fixing that layer first. Strategy, operating models, and execution only work when decision-making is clear, durable, and aligned to your business context. The goal is not more process or faster delivery, but better judgment under constraint.

When decision-making is designed intentionally, teams move with confidence, leaders stop firefighting, and growth stops feeling chaotic.

That philosophy has guided every leadership role I've taken since.

Before founding CP Product Advisory, I spent more than a decade building and leading complex product organizations across SaaS, enterprise, and AI driven platforms. Most recently, I led global product management at Dentsu, where I oversaw a portfolio of 13 AI powered products deployed across more than 100 markets. I managed an 8 million dollar product portfolio and led a 67 person global team spanning product, engineering, strategy, and delivery, helping brands engage consumers in privacy safe ways while accelerating Dentsu’s AI strategy.

Prior to that, I led enterprise product initiatives at Merkle, where I architected a unified marketing intelligence platform that consolidated reporting for 95 percent of a 600 million dollar global marketing budget across 140 markets. At Business Insider, I helped stabilize and scale data and analytics operations during periods of rapid growth, improving deployment reliability, operational clarity, and cross team alignment. Earlier in my career, I led product transformations across ecommerce, media, retail, and health and fitness, driving 331 percent growth, launching mobile apps with more than 100,000 downloads in 24 hours, and rebuilding broken workflows to dramatically improve customer retention.

In each of these environments, the work was less about shipping features and more about redesigning how product decisions were made so execution could scale predictably.

I have worked across nearly every function inside a business, including finance, operations, sales, analytics, and product leadership. That breadth gives me a systemic view of how organizations actually work, where alignment breaks down, and which decisions matter most at scale.

Founders typically come to me after they have tried hiring, reorganizing, and pushing harder, and the predictable symptoms of growth still show up. Execution slows. Teams feel busy but unfocused. Leaders disagree more often. The founder becomes the default decision bottleneck. My job is to help separate symptoms from root causes, align leadership around a single version of truth, and put decision systems in place that let the organization move forward with clarity.

I am not the loudest voice in the room. I am the one who helps you see what is really happening, name the tradeoffs clearly, and build a system you can actually lead from.

Outside of work, I recharge through interior design, time outdoors, and playing music. I am a former Eagle Scout and a classically trained musician, with experience as a singer, saxophonist, and pianist. I currently perform with the Las Vegas Master Singers Chorale, the chorus in residence for the Las Vegas Philharmonic Orchestra.

If you’re looking for an advisor who blends operational depth with architectural clarity, and who isn't afraid to name the real issues, I'm here to help.

How I Approach Product and Organizational Scale

1

Context Before Conversation

Understanding the decision environment before proposing solutions

Before any recommendations are made, I focus on understanding the environment you are operating in. That includes the decisions on the table, the constraints shaping them, and the leadership dynamics involved. This ensures we are addressing the real problem rather than reacting to surface symptoms.

2

Constraint Diagnosis

Separating symptoms from the real bottleneck

Growth exposes constraints, but teams usually feel the symptoms first: slow execution, misalignment, or decision fatigue. My work is to identify the actual constraint shaping outcomes. Until that is clear, effort is often misdirected and progress remains fragile.

3

Decision Architecture

Designing how decisions get made as complexity increases

As organizations scale, informal decision-making stops working. I help leadership teams clarify ownership, tradeoffs, and escalation paths so judgment can scale beyond the founder. This is not about adding process, but about creating decision systems that support confidence and accountability.

4

Targeted Engagement

Recommending the right next step, not a predefined service

Only after clarity is established do I recommend a path forward. That may involve a focused review, a constraint snapshot, or ongoing advisory support. In some cases, it may simply involve alignment and direction without further engagement. The goal is to recommend what actually supports the decisions you need to make.

What I Don't Do

  • Execution or staff augmentation
  • Junior PM coaching or training
  • Hourly/ad hoc work
  • Busywork or bureaucracy
