The Lexington market for VP Products
Lexington's economy blends equine and agribusiness with automotive manufacturing, healthcare, and university research. Companies are family-owned or institution-affiliated, with long time horizons. Fractional executives are engaged for succession, commercialization of research, and professionalizing finance functions.

- PMs are shipping features but not outcomes
- The roadmap is a wish list, not a strategy
