About
With a Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy from the University of Southampton, I have carved a niche in the tech industry, focusing on product management and strategy. I assist tech businesses in transitioning from sales-led to market or product-led models, specializing in Product Discovery, Design, and Positioning. Previously, I served as a Senior Product Manager at Ultraleap, where I led the product and go-to-market strategy for software and managing software partnerships across Europe. My career began at HP as a Product Manager, where I developed strategies for an enterprise software platform, and launched augmented reality features for a consumer app. My expertise lie in aligning products with customer needs and evolving developer tools to enhance user experiences.
