Expert Leadership Advisory for Product Organizations
I have spent 25 years building products where failure has real consequences.
That is the foundation of everything I bring to coaching and advisory work.
Why this, and why now?
Most of my career has been spent inside large, complex organizations — running P&Ls, managing global R&D teams, engaging regulators, and building products that financial institutions, law enforcement agencies, and governments depend on. The work was demanding in ways that most product leadership literature does not acknowledge.
I have sat across from FinCEN officials at the US Treasury, negotiating the responsible adoption of AI in financial crime compliance. I have built platforms used by FBI investigators and MI5 analysts to build cases against serious criminals. I have led a two-year FedRAMP High Authorization process, and managed the aftermath of acquiring technology into a live enterprise product under commercial pressure.
I am now taking that experience directly to the leaders and companies who can use it most — product executives navigating regulated environments, and the fintech, regtech, and regulated AI companies that need senior perspective and hard-won judgment without a full-time hire.

How I work
Direct Engagement.
I am direct. I do not dress hard feedback in corporate language, and I do not give generic advice that could apply to any product leader in any industry. Every conversation is grounded in real experience — the kind that comes from managing 100-person global organizations, navigating FCA audits, and making the deliberate decision to freeze a product roadmap for twelve months to resolve technical debt when every commercial signal was telling me to ship.
Focus on Clarity.
I believe most product leadership problems are not technical. They are clarity problems — clarity about what matters, about the right trade-offs, about how to align people who see the world differently. That is what I help with.
Selective Partnership.
I keep my client roster small. That is deliberate. The value I provide requires genuine attention and real engagement with your specific situation — not a managed program applied at scale.
