Bio

A strategic, skilled leader with twenty years experience in zero to one product development, scaling start ups globally and digital transformation of legacy businesses. I operate at the intersection of design, product, content, research and agile, leading teams to create new products, redesign and rebrand existing products, and manage digital transformations of legacy businesses. I hire, reorg and create new processes and develop team culture to support business objectives. I specialise in product and design strategy, product and service design, research, customer development, B2B and consumer strategy, content, content tooling, content strategy, design systems and OKR setting.. Equally at home talking to customers, leading workshops, debating strategy with the CEO or presenting to the entire company. I am an internationally recognised public speaker and expert in my field, most recently presenting to over 1000 people at the Mind the Product conference, and at Design leadership conferences in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area alongside speakers from AirBnB, Uber, Netflix and other major digital companies. I am currently advising a start up focussing on Women's Mental Health, and am advisor to Founders Academy, a new type of business school for a changing world. Born out of Founders Forum, a global community of the world’s leading tech entrepreneurs, they develop the leaders who will harness new technologies to build a better world. I invest in early stage companies via the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme only and am open to receiving invites to invest from SEIS registered companies solving interesting and worthwhile problems.
