I'm offering
I'm a product leader who has delivered high quality solutions aligned to customer and business goals across multiple industries and platforms.
I currently lead a team of 5 PMs at LendInvest responsible for our end to end platform. I've built this team and developed our ways of working, collaborating closely with VP Engineering, Design and Data to do so to make sure we deliver in an open and transparent manner.
I love product as I enjoy figuring out problems with people, delivering change and seeing the impact it has. I enjoy strategy and prioritisation, and using data to back up these decisions.
I've got many stories and examples from my career that I'd be happy to share.
