Introduction
I’m a strategic manager at the intersection of Content and Technology. Decade+ of experience in huge matrix organisations - mostly Publishing and EdTech. I find clarity in ambiguity, drive strategy, untangle legacy systems, align misaligned stakeholders and trailblaze a path forward where standard solutions fail to deliver. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: ◗ Product & process architecture - designing the roadmaps, workflows and operational systems that turn chaos into clarity. ◗ Cross-functional leadership - aligning engineering, design, content and business stakeholders around the strategic vision. ◗ Content as a product - treating content not just as an asset, but as a strategic product with its own lifecycle, user needs and business goals. ◗ Learning design for product - architecting educational experiences and intuitive product journeys. ◗ AI & creative tech R&D - leading the exploration and implementation of new technologies to solve complex user and business problems. ◗ End-to-end delivery - owning complex projects from initial concept through to final delivery and iteration. ◗ Fast learning, sharp focus, minimal hand-holding. If you’re scaling an EdTech / Creative / AI product, fixing broken processes or rethinking how digital learning should work - let’s talk. If you’re doing something different but feel like this fits, let’s talk anyway. P.S. I am also a writer.
