Building products that simplify complexity,
scale globally & deliver measurable commercial impact

AI Product Leader with 10+ years building and scaling intelligent commerce, enterprise, and data-driven platforms across Manufacturing, Telecom, and Retail. I don't just manage AI products — I build them. From shipping production LLM + RAG assistants at Caterpillar to independently prototyping agentic commerce tools, procurement intelligence platforms, and crisis analytics systems, I combine end-to-end PM rigour with hands-on builder instincts. Proven track record of translating AI/ML capabilities into measurable commercial outcomes: 25% mobile revenue uplift, 20% AI-led add-to-cart growth, 25% conversion improvement. Equally comfortable setting product vision with C-suite as writing acceptance criteria with engineers.

Philosophy

Vision, Mission &
Commerce Thinking

How I think about product, commerce, and the impact that great digital experiences can have at scale.

My Vision

Build digital products that customers trust and businesses rely on — products that simplify complexity, scale globally, and deliver measurable commercial impact.

My Mission

Help large enterprises turn strategy into execution — owning end-to-end customer journeys, using data to guide decisions, and leading cross-functional teams through complex delivery with clarity and pace.

01

Data Over Opinion

Every product decision deserves evidence. I use ContentSquare, SQL, GA, and user research to build business cases from facts — not assumptions. When data contradicts the loudest voice in the room, data wins.

02

Conversion is Confidence

The best conversion optimisation isn't a CTA button colour — it's removing the friction that stops a customer trusting you. Clarity, confidence, and certainty beat persuasion every time.

03

AI Must Be Grounded

AI in commerce is only as good as the data it's grounded in. RAG architectures, domain guardrails, and role-based access aren't nice-to-haves — they're what separates a production AI system from a liability.

04

Headless is a Strategy, Not a Trend

Moving to headless means nothing unless team culture, agile model, and product thinking move with it. Platform modernisation and product maturity must scale together.

05

Commerce at Scale is an Operations Problem

The real complexity in enterprise eCommerce isn't the storefront — it's orchestrating 50 systems, 40 markets, 90 stakeholders, and a live trading platform simultaneously without dropping anything.

06

Agentic Commerce is Now

Autonomous AI agents making real-time merchandising decisions, optimising the digital shelf continuously — this isn't the future. I've shipped it in production.

Agentic Commerce
Why I Built Agentic Commerce in Production Before Most People Know What It Is

The AI merchandising layer I built at Caterpillar was autonomously making real-time decisions about what to surface to which buyer. That's not a feature — that's an agent. Here's what I learned shipping it.

Headless Architecture Isn't a Tech Problem — It's a People Problem

After leading Caterpillar's migration to headless commerce, the thing that nearly derailed it wasn't technical complexity — it was the team's mental model of how product delivery works.

RAG in Commerce: Why Grounding Your LLM in Proprietary Data Is the Whole Game

The PDP Is Where Commerce Is Won or Lost — Here's the Evidence

What Industrial B2B eCommerce Taught Me About Luxury Retail

A Caterpillar dealer buying £20K of parts online and a Sotheby's customer buying a £15K watch have more in common than you'd think. The psychology of high-value purchase confidence is universal.
