Opportunity scoping & solution design
Guided by client strategy and desired outcomes, I lead problem framing, engagement scoping, and solution design for new venture, product, and transformation programmes.
Profile
Product leader, venture builder, applied AI.
I bring more than 15 years of product leadership and more than eight years at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). As a Principal and Product Director, I led venture and case teams from opportunity definition and proposal, through investment case and due diligence, to launch and commercialisation.
I am open to full-time leadership roles as a leader-of-leaders or a player-coach, based in the UK and working hybrid or remotely.
What I bring
A trusted adviser who answers the hardest burden-of-proof questions.
Client-site execution leadership
As a leader-of-leaders or a player-coach, I have led multidisciplinary client-site teams, from small prototype teams to large, complex transformation programmes.
Executive & board engagement
From board meetings, investment reviews, and steering committees to progress reviews across the software and agent development lifecycles.
Breadth of AI in production
Predictive and forecasting models, biometric verification, voice-to-text, recommendation and personalisation, machine learning, and generative AI.
Regulated industries
Most of my work is in energy, healthcare, and financial services, with regulation designed in from the start, including EU AI Act risk review.
Capability development
I have led and built up product management chapters, refined methods and operating models, and reshaped service offerings to meet market demand.
Career
From payments and marketplaces to corporate ventures and applied AI.
