Paper Boat Ltd · Malta
Paper Boat works alongside leadership teams as a fractional Chief Product Officer — setting product direction, fixing the operating model behind it, and turning AI adoption into something that ships rather than something that gets discussed.
About
Paper Boat is a product and strategy consultancy built on years spent between strategy and delivery — inside enterprise organisations and fast-moving product teams across Europe, Israel and the US.
Much of our work sits where product strategy meets AI transformation: helping organisations decide what to build, restructuring how product and commercial teams work together, and turning agentic AI from a slide into a working part of the operation.
We engage fractionally. That means embedded enough to be accountable for outcomes, light enough to stay honest about what's actually working — and a deliberate handover to the people who own it once we step back.
Founded by Nir Ehrlich, product executive and fractional CPO.
Talk to us about your situationServices
Each engagement is scoped to a decision you need to make or a capability you need to build — not to a fixed number of hours.
01
Product leadership on a part-time basis — owning strategy and prioritisation, fixing the operating model beneath it, and acting as the product voice in your leadership team.
02
Getting complex client relationships back on track — we work the commercial side of delivery, and the go-to-market motion that keeps strategic accounts growing.
03
Short, focused engagements for one specific decision: an AI adoption plan, a reorganisation, a build-vs-buy call, or a strategy that needs pressure-testing before the board sees it.
How we work
A short, intense look at the product, the customers and how the team actually operates. You get a written read of what's really blocking you — not a deck of generic advice.
We agree the smallest set of changes that move the needle, with clear owners and a sequence. A strategy that fits on one page beats one nobody remembers.
We stay embedded through execution — running the cadence, unblocking decisions and coaching the people who will own it after we step back.
Strategy is only worth what the organisation can actually execute. Closing that gap is the work.
