Olcay Chasan

Product-Market Fit. Engineered.

I help teams ship 0-to-1 products in regulated environments. No consulting BS. Shipped products.

Who I Am

For over 10 years, I've built products in environments where most people only see problems: Gematik-compliant health apps, BaFin-regulated insurance platforms, OZG implementations in public sector, IoT systems in Industry 4.0.

My approach is simple: One target metric (OMTM), 2-3 guardrails, maximum 12 signals. Weekly rhythm. No endless roadmaps. No consulting decks. Just: Vision → MVP → Launch.

I work embedded in your team for 6-12 months on focused project engagements. From first idea to launch. After that, your team is independent and production-ready.

I learned at Accenture, codecentric, and adesso how to manage enterprise projects. But also what DOESN'T work. That's why I focus on what really matters: Shipping.

My Methodology: OMTM + Guardrails

One Metric That Matters (OMTM)

One target metric that defines your product's success. Not 20 metrics. One.

ExampleService request reduction (Canyon IoT)
ExampleCompliance rate (GEDISA Health)
ExampleCitizen satisfaction NPS (Public Sector)
Guardrails

2-3 metrics you CANNOT degrade while optimizing the OMTM.

ExampleCustomer satisfaction, uptime
ExampleUser safety, data quality
ExampleGDPR compliance, BSI conformity
≤12 Signals

Maximum 12 additional metrics that help you understand OMTM and guardrails. No more. Weekly reviews. Clear dashboards. No data overload.

My Philosophy

Focus on Shipping: No endless discovery phases. No PowerPoint architecture. Just: Vision → MVP → Launch.

Regulatory as a Feature: Regulation isn't an obstacle, it's a competitive advantage. Those who get it right, win.

Embedded, Not Remote: I work WITH your team, not FOR your team. Deep involvement during active project phases.

Outcome, Not Output: I measure success by shipped products and real results, not by delivered features or sprints.
