Description

I’m Subhasis Das, a Principal Product Manager and Fractional Product Leader with over 15 years of experience building, scaling, and leading digital products across Fintech, E-commerce, Automotive, and Logistics sectors.

I specialize in driving end-to-end product transformation — from strategy and discovery to delivery, growth, and scaling. My career spans diverse domains, including AI-driven credit scoring, payments, mobility software, and digital platforms, where I’ve consistently bridged the gap between business vision, data intelligence, and execution excellence.

My expertise covers:

Product strategy, discovery, and OKR definition

AI/ML and data-driven decision systems

Platform and API products for B2B/B2C ecosystems

Agile leadership and stakeholder alignment

Monetization, growth, and go-to-market strategies

Previously, I’ve held leadership roles at CARIAD SE (Volkswagen Group), Fidelity Information Services (FIS), and Racetrack.ai, driving measurable business impact — from operational savings and process automation to new product launches and AI-based innovations.

I now collaborate with startups, scale-ups, and enterprise innovation teams as a Freelance Product Manager, Interim Product Lead, or Fractional CPO, helping them structure scalable product roadmaps, define measurable success metrics, and accelerate market readiness.

I’m passionate about shaping the intersection of AI, mobility, and financial inclusion, mentoring early-stage founders, and enabling teams to build products that create sustainable business and customer value.
