About
I am a pragmatic, strategic, lateral thinker who loves to solve problems and help others. I have a passion for technology and putting theory into practice, adopting a client centric and commercially driven approach, linking business to technical and putting people first at the heart of what I do.
I have over twenty years experience in the financial services industry, driving change, specialising in digital products and propositions. I am skilled in strategy and proposition development, product, stakeholder and relationship management, requirements gathering and analysis, defining business architecture and processes, with a track record of delivery to market across multiple channels.
I can operate both at a strategic management level, driving business transformation, setting the strategy and defining the vision for the product set, the associated roadmap/s, running and delivering long term programs of work across multiple products and propositions across multiple teams and also as a hands on product owner, undertaking detailed analysis, defining and delivering product features in line with the strategic vision and commercial framework, liaising with and building relationships with customers and stakeholders at all levels of a business to ensure products and solutions meet both customer and market needs.
