Experience you can put to work

Different businesses.
Practical improvements.

Recognise something you want to change? Here’s how my experience can help.

Product businesses

Build a product function with purpose.

I’ve built a product function that connects customer needs, commercial priorities and delivery. I bring that experience to help you move from a queue of requests to clear product decisions, with your people working towards the same goal.

The benefit for you

A clearer focus for your investment and a team equipped to turn it into customer value.

Infrastructure & modernisation

Make technology serve the business.

I’ve helped infrastructure organisations improve their services and technology, including leading cloud modernisation. I help you decide what to keep, improve or replace, and plan application changes around the people and customers who depend on them.

The benefit for you

A practical route to better services and technology that supports your next stage of growth.

Retail IT services

Keep stores moving. Improve support.

I’ve helped retail organisations improve IT services and ticket management. I look at how issues are reported, prioritised and handed over, so your team can focus on the problems that affect trading and tackle the causes behind repeat tickets.

The benefit for you

Clearer ownership, better priorities and a path to fewer recurring interruptions.

SaaS products

See the problem. Understand the impact.

I’ve worked on adding observability to SaaS products: making it easier to see what a service is doing and where it is struggling. I connect technical signals with the customer experience, so your team has better evidence when something goes wrong.

The benefit for you

Less guesswork when investigating problems and a clearer view of where reliability needs attention.

Teams across technology

Unlock the capacity you already have.

I work with teams to understand where time goes, which skills they have and what gets in the way. Together, we uncover repeated work, awkward handovers and gaps in responsibility, then choose improvements that help your people do their best work.

The benefit for you

A clearer picture of capacity, focused development and more time for work that moves your business forward.

AI in product & development

Put AI to work with sensible safeguards.

I help you adopt AI across product management and the development lifecycle, from exploring customer needs to building, testing and supporting software. We choose useful tasks, protect sensitive information and put human review and security checks around the work.

The benefit for you

A controlled way to test where AI saves effort and improves quality before you expand its use.
