I spend my day talking and engaging with a wide variety of personalities, working out how best to move the dial on our core business objectives whilst ensuring we support our clients.
I have been in Product Management for over two decades, before the title of Product Manager was even used outside of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG)! I’ve had a wide variety of experience in startups, scaleups, and blue chips covering; fintech, retail banking, financial services, personal media, TV media, as well as betting and gaming.
I am passionate about facilitating and growing impactful and collaborative product teams and driving business transformation in organisations looking to evolve.
I am a mum of three kids who take up the majority of my time and focus when I am not working. We love to walk our black Labrador, Hank, play board games, make artwork, bake create videos, and play the various instruments (ones the kids are currently learning)!
