I’m a senior tech exec and Product Director/VP specialising in customer‑centric innovation, acceleration, scaling and transformation in highly regulated sectors - financial services, health, ecommerce and media.

From 2021 I built and led the Product team at Compare the Market, scaling the UK's leading 5*‑rated financial services marketplace, with responsibility for strategy and outcomes across customer experience, data science/AI, data management, app , marketing, CRM and platform.

In early 2020 I led the teams that created and launched Prova - Europe’s first workplace COVID-19 screening service and health pass, used in high-impact sectors such as medicine and aviation - and I manage Star Catalyst, a digital innovation and transformation consultancy with clients across Europe, Africa and the US.

I studied Mechanical Engineering at Bristol University (graduated 1996), where I designed and built a robotic violin player. My biggest interests are my family, then music, climate science/politics, technology and nature.

In 2019 we designed, built and launched Hooha, an instant payments and smart contracts platform on iOS and Android, integrated with all the major online marketplaces. 

From 2016 to 2018, I led the digital transformation of Europe’s largest broadcaster, Bauer Media. We built, launched, and scaled Europe's most popular audio streaming platform (1bn+ hrs and 4.8* apps from 250k+ reviews) and created Octave IP, a market-leading international audio ad network.

Prior to Bauer, I ran Whatcar.com, creating the largest consumer base of in-market car buyers in the UK.

I also help manage Cnewr Estate, a beautiful hill farm in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
