Product leader and founder with a decade building consumer and 0-1 ventures, from personalised print-on-demand ecommerce through to public consumer platforms. I built and sold Giant Sparrows, a bootstrapped print-on-demand personalisation business that reached profitability and worked with content owners including MoMA, the British Museum and Tate Modern. Since then I have led consumer product at the BBC (a new iPlayer "Live" vertical) and owned product across a FTSE 250 utility. For the last two years I have worked hands-on as an AI-native builder, prototyping and shipping working products fast. I move easily between strategy and the build itself.
Leading AI-native product development inside an international standards body: building their AI Navigator and eval suite, automating cross-team workflows, and building the product team's capability to work with modern AI tooling.
Launched a new "Live" vertical. Created the vision and shipped a live highlights feature for Glastonbury across web and TV, then refined it on test data that lifted weekly active usage and secured resource for launch on the core TV platform.
Hired to embed modern product management at a UK retail technology scale-up. Delivered a new product roadmap and operating model, and coached a team of Product Owners and Product Managers.
Fractional product expert to founders of a pre-seed edge-AI startup building an environmental monitoring platform. Focused on product strategy, experimentation and shaping a commercially viable, data-driven platform.
Time out to support a family member; used it to build fluency in AI product tooling — prototyping platforms, prompt engineering, agents.
Owned the Partner product line for a FTSE 250 multi-utility provider supporting a network of over 60,000 Partners.
Led product for an AI-driven sensor platform ("Google Analytics for physical space") that optimises space, energy use and occupant comfort for large real-estate owners.
B2C marketplace turning social-media imagery into globally-fulfilled products. Optimised go-to-market and performance marketing, and piloted a novel strategy building on platform creators' audiences.
Bootstrapped and scaled a print-on-demand personalisation ecommerce business with global fulfilment. Brought it to profit on just under seven figures of revenue and exited via a trade sale in 2017.
Led go-to-market and productising activities for BT One, a new global enterprise SaaS solution within BT Global Services.
Progressed from Research Executive to Technology Practice Lead, relocating to Moscow to develop the market for client research for Western firms entering Russia. Built and led a team of 15 delivering 20% of division revenues.
