United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I'm an accomplished product development leader with extensive experience in driving product strategy and scaling high-impact teams. My career has been marked by a proven track record of success in B2B, B2C, and B2B2C models, particularly in AI-driven product innovation and user experience design. At eFinancialCareers, I currently own the product vision and strategy for a £27m global recruitment marketplace, where I led a full re-platforming initiative that reversed a multi-year decline and grew key metrics by 200% in just 12 months.
Throughout my career, I have spearheaded AI initiatives that enhance personalization and automation, significantly improving user engagement and conversion rates. My leadership style focuses on building high-performing, data-driven teams, and I have successfully integrated SEO strategies into platform architecture, resulting in a substantial increase in organic traffic. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my expertise in product marketing, UX research, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver impactful results.
