The person behind
the practice.

I lead global, multidisciplinary product teams that create astonishing, award-winning digital products, and I breathe new life into companies with technology enablement and change management at the core. I operate comfortably at executive and board level, shaping direction, setting strategy, and aligning stakeholders. The skills matter, but the real work is the surrounding system: the decision rights, the funding model, and the habits that decide whether new capability survives contact with the org chart.

A career spent inside product development environments, across LEGO, Bupa, Kraft Heinz, Capital One, Lloyds, Tesco Bank, Bloomberg, Domino's, and Walmart, means that when a product manager tells me what is really getting in their way, it is rarely news. My work since 2018 has centred on data science and machine learning products, and lately on how product people actually adopt AI: where it sticks, where it stalls, and what moves a team from AI-curious to AI-fluent.

I am an American who has made the UK my home for over 20 years. And I test everything on myself first: the AI coach my training cohorts use began as the one I built for my own work.

The other half of my practice is people. I lead strong product functions and stretch capable product people into leaders who solve complex problems and delight customers. My method is manager as coach, built on ICF and ICAgile qualifications and a simple conviction:

The people in front of me are beyond capable. They don't need fixing, they need stretching, so their ideas can reach the next level.

And I think with my hands. I'm a trained visual facilitator and an illustrator, the video on the front page is me at my craft table, because drawing the problem is often how a room finally sees it. It's an unusual string to a product leader's bow, and it changes what workshops, strategy sessions and leadership offsites can do.

And on a personal note: I am a UK Armed Forces military spouse, and I have built this career around my husband’s service as a senior officer in the British Army. Since 2024 that has meant interim product consulting for companies like Bloomberg, Meta, and Powerverse while completing my MBA, and lending the same skills to armed-forces organisations I care about: setting the strategic framework for America 250 and 9/11 commemorations at U.S. Army Garrison Benelux, coaching as an ICF-qualified professional with Recruit for Spouses UK, serving on the board of SHAPE International Women’s Club at NATO’s strategic headquarters, and designing a Bereavement Hub — customer journeys, interaction design, and a custom GPT — for Beyond the Wire, a charity for the armed-forces bereaved.
