About

I build and scale complex B2B platforms in regulated and commercially sensitive environments. My background spans core banking transformation, global B2B payments, marketplace wallet infrastructure, travel commerce, and most recently leading product within a £300m private credit platform operating with a lean team. I start by understanding how the business actually makes money and where the constraints sit. That usually means revenue quality, cost structure, regulatory exposure, and operational load. From there I translate that into clear product direction and disciplined execution. I’ve operated as a senior individual contributor and product lead, often entering environments that lack structure and helping teams build planning discipline, prioritisation clarity, and delivery predictability. Relocating to Toronto and open to senior product roles across platform, fintech, proptech, and vertical SaaS businesses.
