What I'm looking for

I seek product roles where I can lead AI/ML feature development in regulated domains, collaborate cross-functionally, mentor teams, and drive compliant, high-quality product delivery with measurable business impact.

I am a Product Manager with over 11 years of experience launching regulated products across Life Sciences (GxP) and Banking/Insurance, combining a technical background in computer science with an MS in Finance.

I have led end-to-end product delivery—from ideation to launch—on large initiatives including a £20M Data Fabric SaaS integration, and served as a P&L owner for an FMCG-focused logistics business. I focus on building high-quality, compliant products by aligning engineering, data science, and business stakeholders.

My toolkit includes AGILE/CSPO practices, MLOps concepts, model monitoring, and practical experience assessing training bias and data drift for GxP-compliant model deployment. I mentor teams in AGILE, ML best practices, and regulatory responsibility while driving roadmaps that incorporate AI agents and automation for compliance.

I am outcomes-driven, data-focused, and commercially minded—adept at stakeholder engagement, vendor management, and translating regulatory constraints into reliable product solutions that deliver measurable business value.
