What I do How I operate Is this you? First Step About
Execution partner for CTOs and VPs of Product & Technology

A playbook isn't hard to find. Making it work inside a real organization is.

I start from your problem, not my methodology. From there, I bring experience, best practices and work alongside you and your team until they fit your world and your reality.

What I do

Execution partner for CTOs and VPs in Product & Technology

I bring an honest, neutral read on where things actually stand, and how clearly that's understood by the people around you. I do the hands-on work of making the change itself happen, once a direction is set, in the room and on a steady weekly rhythm. I prepare it. You lead it. And I build the trust between people that turns a disconnected group into one team.

Assessments

An honest read on where you stand, and where your people think you stand.

A neutral perspective from someone with no stake in your organization's politics or its blind spots. I talk to you and a handful of the people who actually have to change how they work, to clarify how well they understand what the end state actually looks like, why it matters, and whether the initiative has a real way to show its progress. A diagnostic conversation, a readiness review, a report you can act on immediately, before committing to anything bigger.

Transformations and change

Making the change real, in how people actually work.

AI adoption that hasn't changed how the team works, an org structure the company has outgrown, technical debt eating the roadmap, a leadership bench that needs rebuilding, a new way of working that hasn't stuck, the label doesn't matter. None of these are done until they change how people actually work, day to day. What matters is whether people end up with a direction they understand, real buy-in from the ones who have to live it, and progress that doesn't stall out three months in. That's the work I do: the workshops, the interviews, the reporting, the weekly rhythm. I prepare it. You lead it.

Teams and trust

One team, built on what each person actually brings.

A strong team forms when people know what each other is actually good at, and trust they can lean on it. I bring together people who start out siloed, different functions, different sites, different backgrounds, into a team that actually pulls together. Workshops, offsites, and kickoffs, run from the outside, built to get there.

How I operate

Matching the partnership to your situation.

Single session

Bounded, and done when it's delivered.

A workshop, an assessment, a round of interviews, a straight conversation with your leadership team. Scheduled, delivered in a day or a few days, no ongoing commitment on either side. This is usually where things start: a diagnosis, an adapted practice, a report you can act on immediately.

TimeframeHalf a day to 2 days
Defined transformations

A transformation with a defined end state, not a deadline.

Weeks or months, scoped to one objective: a reorganization, an AI adoption program, a shift in how your teams work together. You and I agree at the outset on the end state, the point where your organization can carry it forward on its own. When you're there, I step out.

Timeframe1–6 months
Ongoing, embedded partnership

Time, dedicated to you, week after week.

A standing number of days each week, committed to you and your organization for as long as it's useful. Support builds on what came before instead of resetting with every new engagement, covering whatever's live right now: this month's fire, next month's initiative, whatever needs an outside, execution-focused hand.

TimeframeOpen ended, by agreement
Sound familiar?

If any of these is your actual Tuesday, we should talk.

A dashboard showing several unrelated metrics on screen

"Every one of my AI pilots is winning. None of them by the same number."

Support counts tickets deflected. Sales counts hours saved. Engineering counts adoption. Every pilot is a green light, and none of it adds up to one answer.

If nothing changes

You keep funding pilots you can't rank against each other, until someone asks for the total impact and all you have is five unrelated green lights.

First move

Pick one shared way to measure impact across pilots, so "winning" means the same thing everywhere.

Hands sketching a structured plan on paper next to a laptop

"The new org chart is drawn. I just haven't told anyone."

The org chart was the easy 20%. The why, the messaging, and the feedback loops, the part that actually turns it into reality, still isn't built.

If nothing changes

The chart goes out, everyone nods in the town hall, and six months later people are quietly back to working the old way.

First move

Get the why pressure-tested from outside, then the rollout and measurement plan built around it.

Start here
Two people seated together, each working separately on their own laptop

"Product, design, and engineering all report to me. In every retro, it's still 'that's not my team's problem.'"

Three different roadmaps, three different definitions of done, three different stories about what went wrong. Product, design, and engineering are supposed to act as one team.

If nothing changes

Every release stays slower than it should, and you're still the one who ends up refereeing whether it was product, design, or engineering that dropped the ball.

First move

Get an outside read on exactly where the handoff breaks between product, design, and engineering, then one shared way of working built around it.

Why Razmuzzen

Practitioner, not theorist.

From feature teams to empowered product squads, in six months.

A 50-person product organization stuck in classic feature-team silos, roadmap slipping, ownership unclear. Redesigned the team topology into empowered product squads, built the "Empowered Team" blueprint the organization used to onboard every squad after, and left behind a shared leadership vocabulary still in daily use long after the program officially ended.

Four change streams at once, one 75-person department.

Multi-site, Copenhagen and Sofia. Four simultaneous organizational changes running in parallel without the department losing delivery momentum or trust in the process.

Certified in change, not just instinct

Prosci® ADKAR Certified Change Practitioner.

Has run the room at every scale

Facilitation from 6–12 people up to 150; stage presentations to 200–750.

Full-stack fluency

MSc in software engineering plus 15 years across engineering, product, and design.

Founder, Razmuzzen Co · Copenhagen, Denmark

René Rasmussen has spent fifteen years directing Product, Design, and Engineering organizations. Most recently a 75-person, multi-site team at Milestone Systems, running four change efforts at once. He's been on both sides of the table: the leader designing the change, and the person it landed on.

He's a certified Prosci® ADKAR change practitioner, and holds an MSc in software engineering. Which is why he's as credible in front of engineers as he is in the boardroom.
