Lead PM & Agile Coach · Fintech & Payments

Most teams use AI to go faster. Few are set up to own what they're building. That's the real problem — and what I fix. It's also what Agile promised for 20 years.

About

I've spent most of my career in rooms where the process was the answer to everything. It rarely was.

What actually works is simpler and harder at the same time: teams that own what they build, understand why it matters, and have the space to figure out how. My job is to help organisations create that environment — and challenge the assumptions that are quietly preventing it.

I don't bring frameworks. I bring a different perspective — and a habit of asking why something exists before fixing it.

Expertise

Product & Project Delivery

From zero to launch — across fintech, payments, and digital products. I manage complexity, protect scope, and build teams that don't need constant oversight.

Agile Coaching & Transformation

Not ceremonies and standups. Real ownership, fast feedback loops, and the discipline to iterate. I help organisations move from Agile theatre to actual agility.

AI-Ready SDLC

AI accelerates delivery — but only if the foundation is right. I help organisations set up teams and processes that can actually benefit from AI, not just use it as a shortcut.

Presales & Client Management

I bridge the gap between what clients ask for and what can realistically be delivered — bringing technical and product insight to commercial conversations.
