Fractional & advisory leadership
Product, technology & marketing leadership for the moments that decide everything.
Digital Divergence puts seasoned executive operators inside your business — setting the strategy, building the teams, and shipping the outcomes that in-house leadership alone can't reach in time.
How we work
Executive judgment, embedded — not a deck and a handshake.
We take real responsibility for outcomes — running the function hands-on, or advising and mentoring the people who do. Engagements are scoped to a decision or a turning point, and we stay accountable to the result.
Operators, not observers
Leaders who have carried the CPO, CTO, and CMO title step in to run the function, set the pace, and mentor the team that inherits it.
One table, not silos
Product, technology, and marketing decisions rarely live apart — and AI now cuts across all three. We hold them together so strategy, build, and go-to-market move as one.
Built to hand back
Every engagement leaves behind clearer strategy, stronger people, and durable systems — so the momentum outlasts our involvement.
The operators
Two principals who carry the title, not a bench of associates.
When you engage Digital Divergence, these are the people in the room. Senior operators who have owned the outcome themselves — and stay accountable to yours.
Zoran Kovacevic
Product & TechnologyA product and technology leader who builds products that solve real problems for customers and real gains for the business — most recently for enterprise platforms in higher education. He leads product management and, in some areas, the engineering teams that deliver it. His teams own the outcomes, not just a backlog to clear, and are judged by the difference they make rather than the volume they ship. He pairs deep product judgment with enough hands-on technical depth (AWS-certified) to keep strategy, architecture, and delivery pulling in the same direction.
LinkedIn ↗Stephanie Bailey
MarketingA seasoned marketing executive who builds the go-to-market engine that turns a strong product into market position and pipeline — across positioning, product marketing, demand generation, and the cross-functional teams that execute. Wharton-educated and Pragmatic-certified, she was named a Stevie Award Female Executive of the Year and has led marketing for B2B software companies including Supplier.io.
LinkedIn ↗Services
Two practices that diverge from a single point of view.
Bring in one or both. They're designed to reinforce each other — the same operators, one coherent strategy across what you build and how the market hears about it.
Product & Technology
Executive Product & Technology Management
CPO- and CTO-level leadership for teams building serious software — from strategy through the hard parts of delivery.
- /Product strategy, roadmap & prioritization that ties to the business, not the backlog.
- /Technology strategy, architecture direction & build-vs-buy calls that hold up at scale.
- /Engineering & product org design — hiring, structure, and the operating cadence that ships.
- /Delivery turnarounds: getting stalled roadmaps and struggling teams moving again.
- /Diligence & advisory for founders, boards, and investors.
Marketing
Executive Marketing Management
CMO-level leadership that turns a strong product into a market position customers understand and act on.
- /Positioning & messaging — the narrative that makes the category choose you.
- /Go-to-market strategy across product, sales, and marketing motions.
- /Demand generation & pipeline: the programs that produce measurable growth.
- /Brand & content systems that scale beyond the founder's voice.
- /Marketing org design & leadership coaching for the team you're growing.
Advisory & Mentoring
Not every mandate needs a full-time operator.
When you need judgment more than hands, we engage lighter — as advisors to the people making the calls, and as mentors to the leaders growing into them.
Advisory
A seat at the table, on call.
Senior counsel for founders, CEOs, and boards facing a decision that carries real weight.
- /Board & founder advisory across product, technology, and go-to-market.
- /Strategic reviews, second opinions, and pre-decision pressure-testing.
- /Technical & commercial diligence for investors and acquirers.
- /Fractional advisory retainers for ongoing, on-demand access.
Mentoring
Growing the leaders who carry it forward.
One-to-one guidance for the executives and rising leaders who own the outcome after we step back.
- /Coaching for first-time and scaling CPOs, CTOs, and CMOs.
- /Mentoring high-potential product, engineering & marketing leaders.
- /Leadership-team development and operating-cadence design.
- /Onboarding support for newly hired executives.
The new branch
Digital Divergence AI
The practice we're investing in now — bringing the same operator's judgment to the newest, noisiest part of the market.
Building AI solutions, differently.
The name has always meant taking the path others don't. Most AI work stops at a demo. We build for the part that's actually hard — the AI that earns trust, holds up in production, and moves a real business metric.
Talk to us about AI- ▹Applied AI strategy Cut through the hype to the few uses that create durable advantage — and the honest case for building them.
- ▹Agents & workflow systems AI woven into how real work gets done, not bolted on as a chatbot — designed, evaluated, and shipped.
- ▹Evaluation & trust The measurement, guardrails, and human oversight that make AI safe to put in front of customers.
- ▹From prototype to production The unglamorous engineering that turns a promising demo into a system your team can rely on and maintain.
