Building product
organisations
that actually scale.

I help founders and leadership teams build product organisations that scale - through strategy, AI adoption, and clear operating models.

Systems thinking.
Clear strategy.
Real outcomes.

Across my career I've led product, engineering, marketing, analytics, and people teams through very different phases — from hypergrowth and IPO preparation to a near-total revenue collapse during COVID and rebuilding from there.

Experiences like these reinforce a simple lesson: great companies are built on clear systems, not heroics. Whether through a focused workshop or longer advisory engagement, my goal is always the same — connect customer value, product decisions, and business outcomes through repeatable systems.

Where I can help

Focused engagements — not sprawling retainers. Short, structured formats rather than open-ended consulting.

Workshops

Hands-on workshops for product teams, leadership groups, or cross-functional squads. Topics include product strategy, experimentation culture, OKR design, and practical AI adoption.

Interactive

Startup Mentoring

Structured mentoring for founders navigating product-market fit, product leadership challenges, or scaling teams. IPO preparation, hypergrowth, and crisis phases.

AI Courses & Advisory

Practical AI literacy and adoption programmes for companies and educational institutions. Focusing on where AI meaningfully improves product development, operations, and decision-making.

Practical

Lectures & Teaching

Guest lectures and teaching assignments for universities and business schools. All lectures are based on real company cases and practical examples.

Academic

Advisory & Fractional Product Leadership

Strategic advisory or fractional product leadership for scale-ups that need experienced product guidance without hiring a full-time executive.

Strategic

Experience that shapes
how I work

01

Built for scale

Executive product leadership across travel, logistics, and education companies — often at the point where organisations need to move from fast growth to structured product systems.

02

Led through crisis

Experienced both the IPO journey of a tech company and the sudden collapse of an entire market during COVID-19. Both reinforce the same lesson: clarity and systems outlast short-term heroics.

03

From engineer to CPO

My career started in engineering before moving into product leadership and eventually executive roles. That path provides fluency across technology, product strategy, and organisational design.

Let's talk.

If you're a founder, team lead, academic institution, or anyone navigating the complexity of digital product, AI adoption, or organisational change - and you believe that good results start with treating people well - I'd love to hear what you're working on
