About me

I’m an experienced digital Product Director, with a background in product management across a range of companies, most recently spending 12 years at Expedia. Over that time, I’ve built strong expertise in product strategy, team leadership and development, and clear, effective communication across stakeholders.

I’ve led and grown teams, helped shape product direction, and enjoy bringing structure and focus to complex problems. I’m particularly motivated by helping teams align around a shared vision and delivering meaningful outcomes.

Having recently been made redundant, I’m taking a short career break and am keen to use this time to give back and support charities. I’d love to contribute my experience to help organisations grow, whether that’s shaping product strategy, supporting teams, or bringing clarity to new ideas.

What am I looking for?

I’m open to a range of charitable causes, though I’m particularly passionate about supporting women’s organisations, which I feel can often be under-supported. I’m keen to use my product management and leadership experience to help charities grow, especially where a fresh perspective or some added structure could make a real difference.
