About

Navigating your PM career isn't easy. Whether you're finding a new role, moving into leadership, trying to get the most out of your team, or figuring out how to be an "AI Product Manager", I can help.

🙋🏻 About me

I’m a Product Leader and Coach with over 20 years of experience building B2B SaaS products, scaling startups from $3M to $50M ARR. I’m passionate about optimising product development lifecycles and fostering cultures of innovation. My unique edge comes from hands-on experience, not just building AI into products (Agentic AI, ML, GenAI), but crucially, introducing these powerful technologies directly into teams to dramatically increase productivity.

I am passionate about accelerating growth, whether you're building a high-performing team, creating measurable value for customers or advancing your career.

🤔 → 👩‍🔬 → 🚀 - I can help you:

• Elevate Your Product Leadership: Refine your executive presence, master stakeholder management, and empower your teams to thrive.
• Craft Product Strategies: Develop a forward-thinking product vision and strategy that identifies the most significant obstacles and provides a credible path to achieving the company’s goals.
• Optimise Product Development with AI: Implement AI-driven tools and methodologies to streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and significantly increase the efficiency of your Product Management, Design, and Engineering teams.
• Foster a Culture of AI-Driven Innovation: Guide your team in identifying new opportunities for AI applications, encouraging experimentation, and building a mindset focused on continuous, AI-powered product improvement.
• Drive Organisational Alignment: Facilitate strategic alignment workshops using proven frameworks (like the 5-day sprint) to ensure your entire organisation supports and executes your Product Strategy.

I've had Chris as a mentor since October 2024, and it's been one of the best career decisions I've made. From the start, Chris was focused on what I was looking for in a mentor, what my current challenges were as a product manager, and whether he was the right fit. I also appreciated that he offered different ways he could provide feedback to suit my personal style. Since then, I've come to Chris with all sorts of challenges and questions related to my product career. His insights and support have been fantastic. I value that he challenges me and pushes me to engage my product thinking, offering feedback on where I could improve or approach a solution differently. I also really appreciate the stories he shares about facing similar challenges, how he handled them, and what he learned, which he often passes on to me. I've applied those changes into my career and have seen a noticeable improvement in how I conduct solving problems through product thinking and how to engage with stakeholders at all levels at my current company. Finally, Chris is incredibly non-judgemental and supportive. Whether you're facing a big or small challenge, he's always ready to listen, offer support, and give the feedback you need to hear in order to grow. I highly recommend Chris as a mentor for anyone looking to take their product career to the next level.

Chris shares invaluable insights and points that I overlook throughout my business journey. We have been working together since I started my new position and he helped me get through many obstacles and changed my perspective positively. He is to the point, very helpful, and responsive.
