A top-down view of four women working at a long wooden table in a bright room. Two women are using laptops, one is writing on paper, and one is sitting with her arms crossed. The table has laptops, notebooks, a plant, a bowl of fruit, a magazine, cups, a glass of water, and office supplies. The room has wooden floors and large plants.

Senior product leadership that fits how you work

Interim and fractional CPO support, building product functions and embedding AI-first ways of working, for learning, education and other B2B software businesses.

I work with leadership teams on the product decisions that matter most: setting direction, shaping how the product function operates, and getting unstuck on the questions that are holding things up.

Sometimes that means stepping in as an interim or fractional CPO. Sometimes it means building a product function from the ground up, or sharpening one that has grown faster than its processes. And increasingly it means helping teams work out what AI changes about what they build, how they build it, and what it means for the learners and educators they serve. Most of my career has been in learning and education, from the classroom to CPO of a learning technology business, so I know the sector from both sides.

Two women with long hair, one with a black shirt with blue patterns and the other with a white shirt, are looking at a wall of colorful sticky notes in French, actively engaged in a collaborative discussion.

Building Product Functions

I have built product functions from scratch more than once, and re-organised established ones to support scaling or the shift to AI-first ways of working.

That means defining roles and ownership, running hiring, and putting in the operating model, prioritisation, and rituals a product team needs to do its best work. The shape is set by where the business actually is, whether that is putting Product on a proper footing for the first time or reshaping a function that has outgrown how it was built. I have done this in learning technology, assessment and edtech businesses, as well as in healthcare and data companies.

Interim and Fractional CPO

Senior product leadership while you make a permanent hire, navigate a transition, or carry the team through a period of change.

Getting unstuck on a specific problem

Focused work on a single, well-defined question that's holding things up: a stuck decision, a roadmap that's lost coherence, a hard trade-off, or a product organisation that needs to stand up to scrutiny.

AI-first Ways of Working

Rethinking how product, content and learning teams research, prioritise, create and decide when AI runs through the whole workflow. A deliberate redesign rather than tools bolted onto old processes, with training designed by someone who has built learning products for 20 years.
