This is my blog about product management, product leadership, digital transformation, and coffee.

Previously worked with lots of great organisations including BBC Young Reporter, Catch22, Deparment for Education, Diabetes UK, European Commission, General Assembly, Google.org, Inside Job Productions, Mind Of My Own, New Philanthropy Capital, Young Dads Collective.
