Product and customer-led transformation and innovation
Product, CX, Design, Innovation and Digital Transformation Leadership
Interim | Freelance | Fractional
I believe commercial success comes from understanding and simplifying complexity, harnessing emerging technologies and balancing employee, customer, technology and business priorities.
I've spent my 20+ year career leading complex and critical programmes across many industries - as a consultant and in-house, in large organisations and small, 'tech native' and traditional corporate. I've held leadership positions in technology, product, customer experience, organisational change and strategy.
My specialism lies in bringing together these diverse skills to deliver transformation and innovation with a laser-like focus on commercial impact. I'm excited by big challenges and harnessing the power of new technologies. If you are too, let's talk.
