At EcoOnline Global, I lead product vision and roadmaps for a £2.4M ARR EHSQC and Crisis Management SaaS portfolio. I increased active users by 50%, improved net retention through cross-functional alignment, and delivered 50+ releases and 100+ feature enhancements.
I co-founded Liigo and launched two products from scratch, growing a travel metasearch platform to 30K monthly active users. I improved conversion by 80%, doubled click-through rate through SEO, built an analytics platform adopted by 50+ government and enterprise clients, and secured £280K in funding.
Earlier, I rolled out critical web applications across 20 EMEA offices at Mitsubishi Corporation International and reduced operational costs by 60%. My engineering foundation comes from resolving 300+ critical telecom network issues at Ericsson across Unix/Linux systems, SQL, and Oracle.
