About this session

I’ve led internal platform strategy, metric systems design, and cloud-native data product development across EdTech, AI innovation, and spatial computing. If you’re working on developer tooling, analytics platforms, or enablement systems—this is my home turf.

This session is ideal for:

- Platform PMs or tech leads designing internal tools or frameworks
- Product leaders aligning data products with exec-level goals
- Anyone struggling with adoption, ROI, or strategy for technical products

These sessions work best with context in advance—feel free to send a screenshot, doc, or rough overview ahead of time.

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.
