Tools for success
-
A north star metric is nothing without the inspiring teams with the possibilities of how to get there. Pulling together business and customer knowledge, I create a vision that opens minds and gives people a path to follow for success
-
I’ve lead the build of 3 complex Design Systems, each with their own set of needs and challenges. I’ve brought design and engineering closer to become stronger and more effective.
-
A product process needs to be flexible to the needs of the business. I’ve created processes that allow business to move at pace whilst ensuring the people and the tasks required are considered properly.
-
I’ve enabled business to learn about their customers and retain that knowledge better through research repositories and clear guidance on the right method for the right insight.
-
It’s important for me to provide my team with the tools and opportunities they need to grow within the business as well as prepare them for their next big adventure.
