Product Performance Delivery Change Management
My craft: aligning three levers so a product takes off — value, execution, team buy-in.
Impact
- −40% Time-to-market on average across the engagements I lead
- ≈ ×2 Predictability on the teams I work with
- +30% Business value prioritised on the roadmaps I rebuild
- 5countries Coordination teams spread across 3 continents
- 13yrs In product including 4.5 years as an engineer
Approach
- A strategy that doesn't ship is just a slide.
- Delivery on the wrong priority is just busywork.
- A top-down transformation breeds resistance.
In practice: diagnosis, prioritisation, execution. And a clean handover so teams stay in control when I leave.
Who I work with
- CPO
- Head of Product
- Executives
- Transformation managers
The product is moving too slow. Teams are busy but not shipping. A transformation is stalling. You're looking for someone who goes from diagnosis to execution — not an audit that ends up as a forgotten slide deck.
