Hands-On Head of Product

I build structure from the chaos of fast-paced products.

Fourteen years building product functions and product people — so teams stop drowning in ceremony and start making money.

Structure where it matters. Speed where it counts.

About

The person who brings structure to the chaos.

Product Director with 14+ years' experience modernising complex SaaS platforms, scaling multi-domain portfolios, and driving up to 44% business growth. I specialise in stepping into companies that don't yet have product structure — and building it: AI and automation systems that turn fragmented data into clarity, and cross-functional teams that know how to ship without drowning in process.

Capabilities

Where I'm most useful.

Product Strategy & Leadership

When a company needs someone to bring order to fast-moving, structure-less environments, I clarify the bets, build the product org, and turn chaos into a repeatable system.

AI & Automation

When data is fragmented and decisions are slow, I design the AI and automation systems that turn raw data into working product intelligence.

People & Team Building

When a product function needs to scale, I hire, coach, and structure product teams so they can operate without me in the room. I've built product teams from scratch across three different companies, currently leading 7 direct and 38 indirect reports to deliver scalable commercial output.

Data & Insights

When there's data but no clarity, I shape the metrics and reporting that answer what's working and what isn't.

Selected work

A few of the problems I've structured.

Case study 01 AI & Data Platform

Enterprise AI Portal: Safe RAG Architecture & Analytics Governance

Client reporting was manual and fragmented, and fulfilment workflows created operational delays. I defined the product vision and led the build of a unified client portal, integrating Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power BI with a guardrailed RAG architecture to power tier-based AI chatbots.

Outcomes

Cut fulfilment team workload by 32 hours per delivery, while safely surfacing automated benchmarking and optimisation insights across every client tier.

Case study 02 Sales & GTM

Lead Generation Form for Sales: Minimum Effort, Maximum Result

Sales requested a fully automated chatbot built on unproven assumptions about buyer behaviour. I proposed a leaner alternative — a lightweight, personalised lead form integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365, routing leads as qualified sales opportunities instead of automated contracts.

Outcomes

Shipped in 8 weeks, generating £168,000 in revenue within the first month while creating higher-value sales touchpoints.

Case study 03 AI & Experimentation

Autonomous AI Agents for Experimentation & Personalisation

Building an experimentation framework from scratch required up to 8 hours of manual setup per test, bottlenecking test velocity. I architected an Opal AI-powered agentic system that automated the full experimentation lifecycle — analysing historical data, recommending target metrics, generating test setups, and dispatching real-time performance summaries.

Outcomes

Reduced test setup time from 8 hours to minutes, drastically accelerating experimentation frequency while maintaining rigorous, automated statistical reporting.

Let's build some structure.
