Experience

Fifteen years, in order

Product leader with 15+ years taking AI-first SaaS and enterprise platforms from vision to adoption across global markets. Leads a 30+ member cross-functional product and engineering organisation across three concurrent SaaS lines, and drove company-wide AI transformation as the organisation's AI-adoption lead — setting standards, aligning executives, and building reusable capability across delivery teams. Pairs executive-level strategy and stakeholder alignment with rare hands-on depth in modern AI — agents, RAG, evaluation, governance — to turn ambiguous, low-structure problems into scaled, adopted products with measurable business outcomes.
