About Me

My Story

My first job was at Domino’s Pizza (yep, making pizza 🍕). It was there that I truly learned what it was like to be part of a team. Although not a tech role, many of the skills I learned became foundations of my product career.

I’ve always loved technology and been fascinated by business. I started my career as a Service Delivery Manager in Enterprise IT, a role that let me sit at the intersection of two domains and work on the question, “how can technology help make the business more successful?” Answering this question is what I enjoy the most.

While working as a Service Delivery Manager, in order to save for my Masters, I also took a part-time role in the HelloFresh UK in the Customer Care team. During my time on there, I saw opportunities where technology could help the agent productivity by reducing manual tasks. I built some software to do just that. In a whirlwind of events, I was soon moving to Berlin to start as a Product Manager for the HelloFresh Global Team. Since then, I have never looked back.

I’m lucky enough to have a career I genuinely love. Sure, it has its challenges but the opportunity to solve interesting problems with a diverse set of colleagues is a really rewarding experience.

 

My Background

Head.jpg

I’m a Senior Director with experience in B2B and B2C organisations covering Enterprise IT, e-commerce/Subscriptions & Marketplaces. I’ve worked both operationally in the delivery teams and managing Product Managers directly.

I’ve been accountable for organisations of over 100 people and their role in returning value to the business.

I write on Medium on Product Management topics that interest me the most.

I originally come from the UK, and am currently living in Jersey. In my free time I enjoy running, rugby, model trains and board games.

 

My Skills

Product Management is a broad discipline, but here are some of my key skills:

  • Agile Product Development Process (Discovery & Delivery)

  • Experimentation (particularly quantitive)

  • Team Building & Team Culture

  • Stakeholder Management

  • Leadership

  • Communication & Alignment

  • Digital Transformation

My experience has primarily been in Scale-Up (High-Growth) and larger organisations. However, I’m open (and excited) to work with individuals and companies at all stages.
