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.
