About this session

Over the past decade, I’ve coached PMs, tech leads, and platform operators as they stepped into Head of Product, Innovation Lead, and even CPO-track roles. I specialize in helping systems thinkers, polymaths, and quiet operators craft executive-ready narratives that reflect their full arc—not just a list of achievements.

This session is for you if you’re:

- Preparing for a promotion, job search, or internal transition
- Unsure how to tell your story across product, strategy, and technical domains
- Struggling to map your hybrid strengths into a clear executive identity

I typically conduct these in the early EU afternoons. Feel free to share your current title and context beforehand so I can tailor our session.

Your mentor

Hi, I’m Richard—a strategic product leader, coach, and systems thinker who helps product managers grow into platform architects, innovation catalysts, and confident decision-makers.

Over the last decade, I’ve worked across four continents—from launching Deloitte’s AI innovation lab to building the Sonic analytics platform at NavVis. My roles have spanned product design, data science, strategy, and infrastructure product management. I specialize in turning complex systems into clear, actionable roadmaps.

If you're a product leader navigating ambiguity, building internal platforms, or stepping into a Head of Product role, I’ve been there. I coach emerging executives, scale product thinking across orgs, and design coaching systems used by PMs worldwide.

You’ll get structure, story, and strategy in every session—with rituals, templates, and real-time synthesis to keep you moving.

Ask me about:

Product strategy, platform roadmaps, and team rituals
Designing internal tools, data products, or innovation functions
Career pivots, executive narrative design, and leading with clarity
Analytics architecture, metric taxonomies, and stakeholder alignment
Balancing performance, parenting, and creative legacy

Let’s sharpen your story and scale your impact. Start with a message or book an intro session—I’d love to support your next chapter.
