Fascinated by the endless creativity of the technology world, my career has been driven by helping organisations to grow, change and bring new products to market. I’ve been a leader in high-growth technology companies, the largest multinationals (inc. Fortune 6), academic AI research labs, and investment firms. My creative background pushes me to always be on the lookout for the magic that makes a product so compelling that users can’t do without it. Bringing products to life is hard, that’s why I focus so much on the people who make it possible. Being a product leader is like conducting an orchestra – it’s not just about those in the product or tech functions, it’s about everyone across the entire company coming together to create an awesome product for our customers. I enable that. Whether my role is in product, technology, operations, or innovation I apply the same relentless focus on creativity and people to help the organisation grow and change and continue to drive huge value for our customers. I thrive in situations where there is volatility, uncertainty, complexity, or ambiguity. Over the years, I've developed playbooks for building high-performing Product and Engineering teams: 1) the importance of Building Momentum (and how to do it), 2) the alignment power of a Team-of-Teams, 3) Strategic Direction and knowing where you're going, 4) the Tooling to enable high-performance teams. I’m particularly focused on leveraging advanced technologies (inc AI, ML), creativity, design & UX, and data, combined with making the technology blend into the background so people will delight and engage.Lots of value created over the years:1. 15+ successful new products - many of which broke new ground in their markets2.

Responsible for $millions in new and upgraded client contracts across multiple industries Throughout my career I’ve found that implementing the right culture is one of the hardest but most essential ingredients for success.
