Frequently asked questions about the fractional CPO / CPTO

What is a fractional CPO or CPTO?

An experienced product (and tech, for a CPTO) leader who joins your team a few days a week, with the seniority of an executive committee member, without the cost or delay of a full-time hire. They decide, arbitrate and structure from the first weeks.

Why a MedTech-specialised CPO rather than a generalist?

In MedTech, product and regulatory cannot be separated: every roadmap choice affects certification (IEC 62304, MDR, ISO 13485). A profile who has lived device vigilance and exchanges with the ANSM sets up traceability that serves both the development team and the quality management system.

For what kind of company?

Startups, scale-ups and SMEs in health (medical device software, health data, AI in healthcare) that are structuring or growing their product and tech organisation.

How long, and at what pace?

Engagements of 3 months minimum, 1 to 3 days a week depending on the need. A first 30-minute call to frame things.
