I turn complex problems into products that work.

Senior Product Manager with a technical focus. I bring product, engineering and people together, then help teams move with clarity.

Work that changed something

I do my best work where a useful product, a capable team and accumulated complexity meet.

Systems

Build the system, not the workaround

At Tom Tailor, I delivered a complete ecommerce replatform in nine months alongside other Product Owners and was responsible for introducing the new product and media data systems in three. At esome, I owned advertising products including a meta-DSP, a validator for image and HTML5 creatives, and services that automated campaign work from API intake through delivery, controlling and reporting.

Complex operations became connected, maintainable product systems.

People

Help people own the outcome

I grew from Product Manager into Team Lead because I enjoy helping people develop. Later, as a Facilitator, I helped teams build more effective ways of working and develop a shared product practice, strengthening discovery, prioritisation and decision-making.

Leadership through context, trust and useful challenge.

Practice

Make the useful thing

When a practical problem has no sensible solution, I build one. A growing set of tools now solves problems across campaign operations, team coordination and my own technical setup. Those skills also helped me take hands-on responsibility for existing services, keep them running and deliver necessary updates myself.

Real tools in real use, built from observed needs.

What colleagues experience

“You have always been supportive, kind and willing to share your knowledge and listen. Your advice comes from the heart, but it is also genuinely useful.”
