Innovation Product Manager translating AI and sustainability insights into scalable digital products that deliver measurable outcomes.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Innovation Product Manager and product/digital transformation leader, focused on delivering data-driven platforms across energy, financial services, and public sector ecosystems. I translate complex technical challenges into scalable product strategies, measurable roadmaps, and high-impact digital solutions.
In my current role, I lead product transformation initiatives and embed sustainability principles into digital product strategy and delivery. I’ve improved portfolio alignment by 25%, increased roadmap clarity by 30%, and reduced early-stage analysis time from 4 weeks to 3 days by applying AI tools for discovery.
I’m also a hands-on Agile leader—upskilling 650+ UK, US, and India leaders through Agile, Product, Facilitation, and AI workshops. Previously, I coached teams as an Agile Team Coach / Scrum Master, introducing OKRs and KPIs and reducing delivery bottlenecks from 3 weeks to 1 day.
Earlier in my career, I delivered and scaled enterprise digital services, integrating microservices between branch systems and central platforms, and reducing branch paperwork by 40%. With training from Cambridge Institute Sustainability Leadership and additional AI-and-sustainability learning, I bring product leadership to purposeful, meaningful innovation.
