Unlock Revenue You Already Own

I help B2B SaaS and data-led teams scale smarter—by uncovering overlooked revenue, commercialising internal data, and turning complexity into traction.

Available for strategic projects, interim leadership, or embedded roles.

What I Bring

I’m a commercially focused product strategist and digital transformation leader with a track record of building award-winning SaaS and data platforms. I’ve led multi-million-pound initiatives for global brands, scaled early-stage start-ups, and helped organisations unlock real commercial value from complex data.

Product Strategy

Vision, roadmaps, and portfolio optimisation — I align teams around scalable, high-impact solutions that deliver real value. Whether you're rethinking an existing product, portfolio or starting from scratch, I bring structure, clarity, and momentum.

Ways I Add Value

SaaS & Data Platforms

I bring SaaS and data platforms from idea to reality — blending strategy, governance, UX, and execution to identify solutions and build things that work. My approach balances user needs with commercial outcomes, ensuring platforms scale with purpose.

Digital Transformation

I lead transformation initiatives that unlock value from technology, data, and ways of working. From modernising legacy systems to aligning teams around change, I help organisations move faster and work smarter.

Go-to-Market & Growth

From MVP to launch and beyond, I help shape go-to-market strategies and drive adoption — fast, focused, and built to last. I work across product, marketing, and sales to turn vision into measurable traction.
