About

Turning data into
competitive advantage

I'm a product executive with a PhD, an MBA from Quantic (with Honours), and over 15 years at the intersection of finance, technology, and human-centred design.

My career has been built on one conviction: the best financial platforms are ones that developers love to build on and customers trust with their most important decisions. From architecting LSEG's core data and API platform — powering £1B+ in annual revenue — to launching HSBC's Open Banking infrastructure, I have consistently delivered platforms that scale commercially and technically.

I combine deep technical literacy (cloud, APIs, AI/ML) with sharp commercial instincts, working shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, compliance teams, and C-suite stakeholders to ship products that matter.
