IDEO

What is IDEO?

Product Leader at Hive, Sky, BBC, start-ups etc.

I’m a passionate Product Leader who thrives when working with top brands to develop innovative, consumer-facing products with amazing user experiences, that solve real customer needs and which also address pressing business objectives, especially those in industries in the thrall of tech disruption. I truly believe technology can be a force for good. Starting out as a Tech journalist and cutting my teeth Agency-side, I’ve been fortunate to have been in Digital Product Management since before it has been called that in the UK and to help deliver some amazing products that have achieved great acclaim Worldwide at start-ups and large corporations, including the BBC, Sky and Centrica. I have experience in hardware product development as well as software and have long been a proponent of Agile and Lean methodologies. I have adapted these to varying company cultures and helped transform team structures, processes and tech to address digital change as well as build successful Product Teams of varying size. With a demonstrable entrepreneurial streak, I pride myself on finding creative solutions to gnarly challenges and on working collaboratively to deliver solutions that can scale cost-effectively to address varying business models, markets and territories.
