Summary
Product Manager with 10+ years building B2B SaaS and eCommerce products, from early-stage startup through two acquisitions to Principal Product Manager at Oracle NetSuite. I love prototyping my own ideas and can speak technically with engineers. I focus on outcomes over output; finding the problem worth solving, and shipping the smallest thing that proves it.
Experience
Software Adventures
Software Engineer

- Deliberate move into hands-on engineering after a decade in product: design, build and ship native iOS and macOS apps end-to-end using SwiftUI, AWS Infrastructure, SceneKit, ARKit and more.
- Run discovery and design sessions directly with clients, translating loosely-defined business problems into scoped, shippable releases through iterative delivery.
- Built and shipped multiple consumer apps independently, owning the full product lifecycle; positioning, App Store Optimisation, analytics and iteration.
Oracle

- Retained as Principal PM following Oracle's acquisition of Next Technik, leading product direction for NetSuite Field Service Management.
- Coordinated roadmap and release planning across engineering, design and go-to-market teams in multiple regions, balancing enterprise customer commitments against platform strategy.
