years across technology, product and transformation
delivery acceleration through streamlined requirements and coordination
international Odessa implementations across the UK, China and Spain
career spanning engineering, delivery, consulting and product leadership
I work where business intent meets technical reality. That might mean shaping a product from first principles, aligning a complex program, or helping a team see the path through a messy problem.
My career started in code and grew through delivery, consulting and leadership. That range helps me ask better questions, make sharper trade-offs and keep momentum when the work gets complicated.
How I workFrom building technology to owning the problem
around the technology.
Started close to the technology - building and understanding how products actually work.
Moved closer to users and stakeholders, translating business problems into workable solutions.
Led feature teams and complex delivery across business, technology and vendors.
Now focused on product ownership, enterprise transformation and AI-enabled products.
A few problems, products and programs
that shaped the way I think.
Leasing & asset finance
Worked across Odessa lease and loan workflows spanning origination, servicing, payments, reconciliation and back-office operations
Document management & enterprise platforms
Built deep expertise in Formpipe LaserNet and helped establish a document management Centre of Excellence around Odessa, bringing document generation, templates, governance, standards and integration patterns into a scalable capability
AI & operational transformation
Defined requirements for a middle-office tool using AI-driven document parsing to streamline operational work and reduce manual document handling
Enterprise go-live
Primarily responsible for platform parametrisation and integrations across the UK implementation, including LaserNet, Swift and BACS
International implementation
Coordinated the China go-live across local business needs, platform configuration, dependencies and cross-functional delivery teams
International implementation
Supported the Spain implementation across platform parametrisation, document management and integrations, collaborating with cross-functional teams and origination to define and validate integration requirements
Customer experience
Defined the customer-facing portal experience around leasing backoffice workflows, making account information, requests and servicing interactions easier to access
Mobile product
Translated fuel card journeys into a practical mobile experience for everyday drivers and operational teams
AI is most useful when it fits the workflow around it. I defined the product requirements for an AI-driven document-parsing capability in a middle-office process - connecting unstructured documents to structured operational work.
Understand the users, constraints, incentives and technology before reaching for a solution.
Turn research and messy inputs into a clear direction teams can believe in and build against.
Ship outcomes, grow capability and create the conditions for the next good decision.

I'm interested in roles where product thinking, technology and business context need to come together - especially when the problem is complex enough to need both.
I'm always interested in the problems that don't have an obvious answer yet.
