Achievements summary

Product strategy and operations thrive on openness to change, supported by leadership and strong team alignment. Meaningful change happens gradually, as processes are reviewed, assessed, and refined for impact.

Below are previous strategies and frameworks.
These are tailored to people, disciplines and structures in each unique environment.

 

Leadership & Strategy

  • Built and scaled multidisciplinary design teams across UX, Research, UI, Content, and DesignOps — embedding design within agile product environments.

  • Redefined design’s role from delivery to strategic influence — ensuring design shaped product direction, not just outcomes.

  • Partnered with Product and Engineering leadership to align design strategy with company OKRs and long-term vision.

  • Implemented design governance frameworks, defining scalable processes, research frameworks, and design systems for consistency and efficiency.

Customer Experience & Impact

Directed UX strategy for a global digital transformation supporting 100k+ products and 700k researchers in 130 countries.

  • Delivered measurable outcomes:

    • +30% increase in search-to-product engagement

    • -7% reduction in zero-result searches

    • +2.8M additional sessions per year

    • Member of product leadership team supporting £450M revenue

  • Simplified end-to-end e-commerce journeys, reducing friction and improving clarity across nine global product categories.

  • Advocated accessibility, usability, and performance standards to drive inclusive and high-quality design delivery.

 

Balanced teams for scalable product delivery

Getting the right mix and ratio across disciplines. Product and Engineering verticals, supported by UX horizontals, forming the foundation for structured and efficient Agile ways of working.

 

Product frameworks

Simplifying existing frameworks to fit the team in place. Recognising that out-of-the-box models rarely align perfectly, applying them pragmatically to suit the team’s capabilities and maturity.

 

Metric framework

Simple: An uncomplicated metric framework focused on clarity and alignment

  • Limited metrics: A concise set of measures that maintains focus and improves adoption

  • Actionable: Metrics that clearly show how team activity influences results

  • Aligned: Each metric laddering up to the North Star Metric

  • Guiding: Metrics that support prioritisation and data-informed product decisions

  • Shared understanding: Ensuring everyone works toward common goals

Example metric framework showing how team and discipline-level measures ladder up to the North Star Metric, helping teams connect day-to-day activity to overall product success.

 

Stakeholder-informed, customer-led

Bringing together stakeholders from across functions and using their input to shape product direction. Ensuring customer-led solutions are developed with shared understanding, alignment, and support.

 

Feedback & Continuous Improvement Loop

Using feedback from users, data, and teams to informs ongoing product decisions. Maintaining a simple, consistent loop that captures insights, drives iteration, and improves outcomes over time.


Ways of Working

Principles that define the culture, mindset, and behaviours making the frameworks—team, product, metric, and strategy—effective in practice. Not processes, but guiding habits that shape how the team operates.

 
 

Connecting strategy to execution

High-level strategy serving as the guiding principle, supported by clear product, metric, and operational frameworks that make it achievable and actionable for teams.
