At LexisNexis Risk Solutions – Bankers Almanac KYC, I led product strategy and lifecycle management for KYC and payments web and API products serving global financial institutions. I translated customer and compliance needs into prioritised roadmaps.

I played a pivotal role in securing $1m+ in enterprise contracts through product strategy and go-to-market initiatives, and contributed to a multi-million-dollar commercial pipeline. Targeted initiatives also drove 35% growth in product adoption in a strategic international market.

I led the launch of bank account validation, coordinating discovery, technical delivery and go-to-market readiness. I also provided strategic direction across product streams and presented roadmap and competitive positioning recommendations to senior executives and enterprise customers.

At Achilles Information Ltd, I owned lifecycle and roadmap activities for data products, messaging capabilities and a B2B request for proposal platform, supporting retention of customers accounting for 20% of revenue. Earlier, I worked in business analysis and product ownership across insurance, healthcare, education and payments.
