Who We Help

You might be calling us because…

We work best when the stakes are real and the situation is complex. These are the moments where Syntra creates the most impact — and the fastest.

01

You're preparing for a PE exit

Your product story, org structure, and roadmap need to be board-ready and credible under diligence. We help founder-led companies clean up and sharpen their product narrative before the deal.

02

You were recently acquired

Post-acquisition chaos is our specialty. We stabilize product and technology leadership fast, align teams across combined entities, and build the integration roadmap that keeps value intact.

03

Your teams don't know what each other builds

"I didn't know we did that." If this is a real sentence in your company, you have an alignment problem. We establish shared language, roadmap visibility, and governance that connects the org.

04

You build what clients ask for, not what the market needs

Reactive product orgs stall growth. We transition teams from order-takers to market-makers — with a strategic roadmap tied directly to business objectives and measurable outcomes.

05

You want to launch or scale payments

We've built and operated a $1.6B+ annual processing platform with direct relationships at the largest payment gateways in the market. This is domain expertise, not general advice.

06

You need to scale complex registration workflows

Sports leagues, cruise lines, enterprise enrollment — we've built registration infrastructure at scale and know where the edge cases hide before they become incidents.

What We Do

Strategy is only
half the job.

Most consultants hand you a framework and leave. Syntra stays. Through our partnership with V.Two, we pair executive leadership with the engineering, design, and data teams to build what we design.

Product & Platform Strategy

Portfolio rationalization, roadmap construction, go-to-market alignment, and the commercial and operational frameworks that make strategy executable — not just presentable.

Payments Platform Strategy

Launching or scaling a payments product requires deep domain knowledge. We've built a $1.6B+ processing platform with direct gateway relationships — accelerating your path to market significantly.

Platform Launch Gateways Risk & Fraud

Org Design & Operating Model

Building or rebuilding product and engineering organizations from the ground up. Reporting structures, accountability frameworks, hiring profiles, and the operating cadence that keeps execution honest.

How We Engage

Flexible by design.

No two situations are the same. We structure every engagement around what your specific moment actually requires.

01

Fractional Embedded

Sustained part-time executive presence. You get the leader and the accountability without the full-time cost — tied to real outcomes, not hours.

02

Interim / Bridge

Immediate coverage for a critical leadership gap. We step in fast, stabilize the team, and transition cleanly to your permanent hire.

03

Project-Based

Defined scope, clear deliverables, fixed timeline. Ideal for strategic assessments, roadmap builds, pre-exit cleanup, or post-close integration plans.

04

Advisory

Ongoing strategic guidance for CEOs, boards, or PE sponsors who need a senior product and technology voice in the room without full-time engagement.

About Syntra

Built by an operator.
Not a consultant.

Syntra was founded by Brandon Tompkins — a GM-minded product and technology executive who has spent 15+ years inside companies, not advising from the outside. As CPO at LeadsOnline, he owned product, engineering, IT, security, marketing, and creative simultaneously. At Stack Sports, he led 40+ products as SVP and temporarily ran Sales and GTM during a critical business transition.

The founding insight: companies at inflection points don't need a strategy deck. They need someone who can assess fast, align the organization, and lead through execution. That's what Syntra is built to deliver.

Communicator. Transitioner. Connector. Solutioner.
