Roami

Hands-on product and technology leader.
Building Roami: an AI-native advisory practice.

Fractional product and technology leadership. Advisory. Board. Coaching.

The premise

I’ve been making product and technology calls at scale for years. The names change. The work doesn’t.

Started my technical leadership career in the British Army. Moved through HP, Fujitsu, private and public sector consulting, and the UK Civil Service, where I cut release cycles from 8 months to 11 days while leading a 200-person group. Most recently eight years at MOO, progressing to CPTO of an 80-person product, design, and engineering organisation, with a seat on the executive team and regular board engagement. Reshaped the team, built the product management function from scratch, rebuilt the technology platform to enable thousands of new SKUs over 18 months, reduced turnover by 40% through inclusive leadership and career development, and led the AI shift across the engineering team.

Roami is the advisory practice I’m building next, for product and technology leaders working through the AI shift and what comes after. If your company is in that same shift, or you’re on a board steering through it, there are five ways to work with me below.
