What I'm looking for

I seek a hybrid role where I can lead product strategy and Agile teams, deliver cloud-based, customer-focused solutions, and drive measurable commercial and sustainability outcomes.

I am a certified Product Owner and Scrum Master with nine years' experience delivering digital and infrastructure solutions across utilities, financial services and technology sectors.

I define product vision and strategy, manage roadmaps and prioritise backlogs to deliver measurable business value while balancing user needs, technical feasibility and commercial outcomes.

My background includes cloud and DevOps-enabled infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), analytics (Power BI, Tableau) and enterprise tools such as Dynamics 365, ServiceNow and SAP, allowing me to bridge technical delivery and stakeholder strategy.

I coach and mentor product teams in Agile (SAFe, Scrum, Kanban), champion user-centric design and continuous improvement, and am passionate about sustainable digital transformation and delivering customer-focused outcomes.
