About

I have 15 years experience. An Oxford University graduate who went into Software Engineering, then moved into Product Management.

I have worked as a regular Product Manager, a Product Lead managing multiple teams, a Head of Product defining culture and processes, CTO and as a Board Advisor.

I am British and have mostly worked in London, although recently I was in Singapore for 2 years, and then in Dubai. So Europe, Middle East and South East Asia. Now I also mentor several people in the US.

I have wide experience, but in particular with startups / growth companies and in new product development. I have experience in all areas, including UX, marketing / content and sales products, but compared to others I can be more technical, so I enjoy getting into data, algorithms and AI.

I'm easy going, non-judgemental and just interested to learn about your challenges and see how I can help.

If you sign me as a mentor, the focus will be fortnightly calls where we work on your challenges and goals. Outside of that I'll be available for messaging to check in on progress or help deal with issues that come up.

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

I came to Jamie preparing for a Head of Product Design interview process at a competitive AI startup. I needed help sharpening my leadership narrative and presenting my work at the right level for a senior audience. Jamie was direct, honest and pushed me to be sharper at every session. He challenged my storytelling, helped me reframe my work from a portfolio presentation into a leadership story, and gave me confidence going into each round. His feedback was always specific and grounded in real experience — never generic. I made it through to the final round. I wouldn't have got there without his help. Highly recommend Jamie to any senior designer looking to step up into leadership.

5 out of 5 stars

I did a 4 session program on developing new product and business model ideas for AI enterprise security software. We covered generating ideas, idea refinement, prioritisation and how to present the ideas convincingly. I found particularly valuable to get expert guidance while going through ideation and solution finding processes on my own. Jamie understands how to keep a fun and productive conversation while guiding ones thoughts to make the next meaningful step. I got surprisingly much insights and understanding for the process while elaborating on ideas and convincing arguments within each session. Jamies presentation feedback helped me understand my audience and how to address an opposing or challenging audience. Very thankful for valuable preparation and confidence gained.
