A proven tech executive with 15+ years and 50+ products under my belt who understands products, markets and people, helping businesses succeed by implementing practical and actionable strategies.Most times you can find me building products for clients at touchfoundry, or acting in a fractional capacity as Advisor, CIO, CPO & CTO (all the o's) at various organisations. Other times you might find me mentoring, presenting a talk or guest-judging.I've had both the pleasure and fortune of working alongside some of the smartest startups to aggressive scale-ups and biggest industry leaders alike - spanning verticals from healthtech, fintech, agritech, retail, FMCG, AI, IoT, Big Data - the list goes on.The spaces between where strategy, design, technology and marketing meet truly excite me and I believe that success is a combination of hard work, great people, smart ideas and fun - in no particular order.I come with the plan and the process - my style is to mix 1 part research with 1 part strategy and 2 parts action.

Leading businesses to success through digital innovation.I founded and currently oversee operations and strategy at TouchFoundry, a digital consultancy specialising in product development and user experience design.

We've designed, built, delivered and supported over 50 at-scale digital products and tech businesses across almost as many industries, business categories and verticals.A fervent believer of high touch processes, I've personally applied oversight to each client and project in our stable and both consulted on and guided paths to success.A deep focus on business value, product strategy, highly motivated and performant teams, alongside effective client-market-service provider engagement and collaboration models are the recipies to my success.Success is a function of hard work, passion, teamwork and talent. In no particular order.
