"True to form with a love of extremes, I’ve worked with product teams both in large global corporates and in the wild world of seed and series-A start ups."

As a Principal Product Manager, I’m fortunate enough to work with a variety of teams across the product development lifecycle, setting a product vision & strategy, the roadmap to get there, and ensuring that this thread of strategic focus runs through into day to day execution with inspired teams.

True to form with a love of extremes, I’ve worked with product teams both in large global corporates and in the wild world of seed and series-A start ups. 

I loved Start Up. Rolling up your sleeves and wearing many hats, working on passion projects with despairing lows and sky highs, making something out of a blank sheet, and losing track of time in creating a solution that might really help people. There’s a contagious energy for problem solving, which to me really forms the backbone of what Product Management is. 

I was lucky enough to do all of this whilst feeding my special interest in Digital Healthcare, in my former role as Head of Product for an IoT product in the Sleep Tech space. Whilst learning a lot about wearables, data visualisation and behavioural design, a surprising outcome was feeling the dichotomy between hardware development and software development, which helped me to discover my interest in Product Operations and ways of working ‘beyond the framework’.

On the side, I enjoy working as an IA at General Assembly delivering Product Management training to enterprise clients like H&M, BNParibas, HSBC and Heidelberg. I’m also a spin instructor which to my colleagues at Foolproof, is probably be the least surprising thing ever. (There is no scenario that is safe from a sports analogy). 

In my spare time I’m either moving, or eating copious amounts of carbs ready to move again. My time is best spent exploring the corners of the world in marathons or Ironman races which so far have taken me to some colourful, far flung and high altitude places. I’m still yet to run in the Arctic, but watch this space…
