Description

⚡Building products that turn complexity into clarity - and strategy into revenue.⚡

I build products that actually move the needle. A product leader with deep experience across fintech, banking, and data platforms, taking ideas from 0→1 and into scale - and making sure they’re commercially real, not just technically impressive.

As CPO at Validis, I led AI-driven financial data products used by major banks across the UK, Europe, and North America, turning messy accounting and transaction data into real-time credit, risk, and assurance intelligence - while helping shift the business to true ARR and meaningful growth.

I care deeply about product craft, culture, and clarity. Calm teams ship better products. Clear strategy beats noisy roadmaps. And great products sit at the intersection of customer need, data, and trust.

Background in SME lending and large-scale banking transformation (Metro Bank, Lloyds). Trained as an architect - still obsessed with systems, form, and responsibility.

If you’re building something ambitious in fintech, data, or AI, and want products that scale with integrity, let’s talk.
