AI Consultant & Fractional Product Lead
Specialising in AI, Enterprise Software, Digital Transformation, Commercial Strategy & Growth
Available for Consulting, Fractional & Permanent Roles
I am a Product leader with 20+ years of experience building enterprise software, SaaS and AI-powered products, combining hands-on software engineering, product management, AI consulting and entrepreneurial leadership. I specialise in turning customer needs, business objectives and emerging technologies into scalable products that deliver measurable business value. Working at the intersection of business, product and engineering, I lead the full product lifecycle—from discovery, customer research and roadmap definition through solution architecture, implementation and adoption. Equally comfortable in the boardroom and alongside engineering teams, I bridge commercial and technical perspectives to deliver practical AI solutions that customers use and businesses can scale.
