What I'm looking for

I seek a product role in payments/fintech within an agile, data-driven team where I can lead integrations, scale B2B SaaS products, and drive measurable revenue and UX improvements.

I am a Strategic Product Owner with deep expertise in payments, fintech, and B2B SaaS, focused on delivering measurable business outcomes through data-driven product strategy and Agile delivery. I have led integrations with major payment providers and delivered accounting and fraud prevention integrations that improve reconciliation and security.

My experience spans leading cross-functional squads, prioritising roadmaps, and running collaborative workshops to align stakeholders and improve delivery rhythm. I have driven revenue uplift through optimisation initiatives, implemented KYC and fraud workflows, and represented products at industry events.

I combine technical fluency with commercial acumen, documenting requirements in Confluence, mapping UX in Figma, and managing backlogs in JIRA and Productboard to scale product delivery and elevate customer experience.
