About
I help organisations turn technology bets into relevant and revenue generating commercial products — faster, with customer centricity, and with the financial rigour to sustain growth.With over 14 years operating at the intersection of technology, innovation strategy, commercialisation and product — across deep tech, public sector, venture capital, and startups — I bring strategic clarity, hands-on execution,and commercial accountability to every product challenge I take on.

Adventures with Charlie
December 1, 2025 – Present
Adventures with Charlie is the free, practical toolkit that gives new/junior Product Managers the structure, methods, and confidence to navigate product discovery—even when their organisation can't show them how. I've seen too many talented new PMs struggle in organisations that expected outcomes without providing support. This toolkit is a simple starting point—and now I'm giving it to you, for free. If you are new to product discovery or were dropped into the deep end without a playbook, you're in the right place. Explore the proven sources and methodologies, navigate the four exciting phases we created, and let Charlie guide you from raw ideas to validated roadmaps—all for free.
