Fractional AI Executive|

Jason Knapp

Your team has the AI tools. You need someone who knows what to build with them. As a Product Leader and hands-on architect, I don't write strategy decks — I ship the systems I design.

24 years of applied ML · CPO who scaled to 50M+ MAU · VP who built a DSP processing 1B+ daily bids · Secure AI architectures, immutable data pipelines, and AdTech/MarTech platforms.

Capabilities

AI Architecture & Data Products

RAG pipelines, retrieval-grounded assistants, immutable data transformation systems, and production AI infrastructure. I build the systems that ship, not the slide decks that describe them.

Product Leadership & Team Direction

Fractional CPO or AI Executive who can direct an engineering team or build it myself. From zero-to-one product definition and onboarding funnel optimization through 10x velocity via agentic development workflows.

AdTech, MarTech & Identity Platforms

16 years building data-driven monetization engines: first-party identity graphs (250M users), DSPs (1B+ daily bids), clean-room integrations, and ML-driven yield optimization.

Writing & Thinking

What Problem Are You Solving?

I'm interested in hard problems at the intersection of AI, product, and data — where the bottleneck isn't engineering capacity, it's knowing what to build. Tell me what you're working on.
