Ocean Bottle combines plastic collection with world-class product design. I've joined to help them grow their product range, internal capabilities and build on the success they've already achieved. With the sale of each Ocean Bottle, the equivalent weight of 1000 plastic bottles is stopped from entering the ocean. Through the impact we're supporting, hundreds of thousands of people's lives in coastal communities are affected and improved by this combined effort to clean the ocean.

At Parallel we make original, personalised outdoor products. All of our products are designed to last a lifetime of use.

When I joined Mous their UK design team was just two engineers, my main objectives were to grow the team and increase the number of products Mous made across multiple categories. Two years later, the design team is 15 strong. We grew our product offerings from less than 100 skus to 300 skus, and did so whilst hiring, raising private equity investment implementing a new product development process. My time at Mous was short and very fast-paced, ultimately I loved being part of the management team there and working with some of the most talented designers I've ever met.

At CRL I personally worked with over 35 businesses, spanning multiple product categories & industries. My role was to ensure the companies kept their products on track and hit their next big milestone, whether that waspreparing for investment, crowdfunding campaign or preparing for a successful production run. I built CRL’s Shenzhen/Dongguan manufacturing network & I was responsible for orchestrating the right introductions. I learnt a crazy amount about real-world product development and entrepreneurship at CRL, ultimately I left to pursue more independence and the ability to create great products at a larger scale for Mous.
