About
Built by an operator, not a generalist
Founder-led by Dan Skaggs — a fintech and payments operator who has built products at growth-stage companies and inside financial institutions.
Founded by
Dan Skaggs
Founder, Coastal Blue Advisory
Coastal Blue Advisory exists to help fintech, SaaS, and financial institutions move faster on the decisions that matter — product strategy, AI adoption, and execution.
I've sat in the seat: product leadership across fintech and B2B SaaS, not advice from outside it.
Engagements are intentionally limited. Every client gets direct access and focused attention, not a handoff to someone junior.
Background
- Product leadership across fintech and B2B SaaS, at multiple stages of growth
- Shipped AI-enabled products in payments, AP automation, and workflow
- Modernization work with and inside banks and credit unions
- Domain depth in payments, expense management, and financial operations
“The best advisory isn't broad. It's precise, grounded in the domain, and connected to execution.”
