About

A bit about me.

I started out in financial services, working across roles in proposition design, marketing and customer strategy, and stepping up to Head of Customer Sustainability at a FTSE 100 before the age of 30, responsible for leading and managing a team of 40 colleagues (6 direct reports). I created and launched customer experiences and propositions from scratch, increasing customer engagement by 84%, and worked across financial inclusion, customer vulnerability and Consumer Duty. During COVID, I defined the strategy that moved a 1,000-strong customer operations department, and 3,000 colleagues more broadly, to remote working.

After spending 8+ years building a career in financial services, I decided to explore ways to make an impact on my own terms. This led me around the world, consulting remotely as a fractional leader on customer experience and product design for companies like Monzo, Canada Life and Aegon (through work with Inclusive Outcomes), as well as launching and running in-person experiences across two areas I care deeply about: women's health/femtech and the African tech ecosystem.

The reason my work now focusses on helping purpose-led companies create meaningful products and customer experiences is because I believe this is the best way to continue to compete, and future-proof your business in an AI-driven world. As digital outputs become easy to replicate, what will set companies apart, and be the difference between success and failure, is how they make their customers feel.

How I help.

01

Go-to-Market & Launch

Taking a new product, service or offer from idea to live. I've launched events, awards programmes and new propositions end to end, the strategy and the doing.

Good fit when

You're bringing something new to market and need someone who'll both plan it and roll their sleeves up to make it happen.

Outcome

A new offer that actually launches, and lands, rather than stalling in planning.

02

Customer & Product Strategy

Working out what to build, who it's really for, and whether it'll land, before you spend months building the wrong thing. In a world where AI means almost anyone can build almost anything, the advantage is no longer the product itself, it's whether it earns customers' trust.

Good fit when

You've got an idea or a direction but need someone senior to pressure-test it and shape it into something real.

Outcome

A clear, customer-led strategy you can actually act on, with the commercial case behind it.

03

Customer Experience & Journey Design

Making the experience work for ALL the people using it. Finding the friction, fixing what matters. This matters most in regulated industries like financial services, where designing for vulnerable customers and meeting Consumer Duty has to be built in.

Good fit when

Customers aren't doing what you hoped, and you need to understand why and put it right.

Outcome

A smoother experience that customers trust, return to, and tell others about.

04

Fractional Customer or Product Lead

Stepping in as your senior customer or product lead for a defined stretch, between hires, through a growth phase, or to get a specific thing over the line.

Good fit when

You need senior leadership in the seat now, without committing to a full-time hire.

Outcome

Senior customer and product leadership from day one, for as long as you need it.
