I am a product leader who previously led a startup, as CEO, through a successful acquisition. I am passionate about taking an idea and turning it into a product that customers love.
Ideas are easy - execution is everything.
As Head of Product I was responsible for creating and delivering the product strategy for Access Group's $50m+ People SMB division to deliver on Access's growth goals. I oversaw a portfolio of 9 SaaS products which help UK Small Businesses attract, hire, onboard, manage, pay, and develop their employees. These products covered HR, Payroll, Talent Acquisition, Learning and Development, Employee Engagement, and Performance Management.
My role was to lead and mentor a team of 13 product managers, so that they could deliver value for over 15,000 small business customers and deliver over 10% of year on year revenue growth to the business.
As Group Product Manager, I was responsible for overseeing two product areas within the consumer subscriptions organisation:
I defined and executed on the long term growth and monetization strategy for TweetDeck, Twitter's product for their most engaged customer segment. I led a cross functional team consisting of Engineering, Design and Data Science to grow our customer base and achieve our OKRs by improving the product using customer research, data and continuous experimentation.
I also led a product team responsible for delivering content access for Twitter Blue customers. As part of the subscriptions leadership team, I contributed to the overall strategy and delivered a large part of it through my product management team. The main facets of this role included working with stakeholders across the business to ensure we are meeting the needs of our customers and our partners, whilst mentoring and supporting my direct PM team.
I lead Intuit's payroll product strategy for the UK Quickbooks business unit. As a key member of the payroll cross functional team we have grown our customer base by over 300% in the past 2 years.
Key responsibilities include:
I was responsible for the success of Intuit's payroll products in the UK market.
My team and I drove Quadrotech's product vision forward into the market. I built a product management team from scratch that combined Quadrotech's two independent business lines into a single cohesive product set.
As CEO and a Co-Founder of Cogmotive, I built an MVP out of an idea and turned it into a highly profitable multi-national company with more than 12 employees.
Cogmotive was acquired by Quadrotech in November 2016.
I'm an experienced Product Leader, a fast learner who enjoys a challenge and a coffee snob. Recently I've had much more practice at navigating the shifting sands of an extremely fast growing company. I've finally started putting the stuff I learned in my Masters of Management Degree to good use!
I travel as often as possible, make fantastic coffee, love to cook, I'm an Excel Ninja and I'm really good at Googling.
