Clarity, momentum & outcomes for complex cloud environments

Practical support across platform delivery, cloud cost control and product growth, with every engagement backed by a proven result.

What I deliver

Platform Direction & Delivery

For platform teams that have lost momentum, where the roadmap is unclear, priorities shift weekly, and the gap between stakeholders and engineers is growing. I step in to own direction and drive execution, whether that means leading as a Product Manager, running delivery, or doing both.

  • Platform roadmap strategy and prioritisation
  • Leading multi-disciplinary teams through Scrum, SAFe or Kanban
  • Structured discovery and requirements definition
  • Clearing blockers, managing dependencies and driving accountability
Proven result On-prem to cloud transformation

Delivered at Eseye, including reporting, analytics & AI capabilities.

What I deliver

Cloud Cost Control & FinOps

For organisations where cloud spend has become unclear, uncontrolled, or disconnected from business value. I bridge Product, Engineering and Finance to embed sustainable cost governance, not as a one-off audit, but as a lasting capability. I drive product development based on cost savings and efficiency.

  • Cloud spend analysis, tagging strategy and cost attribution
  • FinOps maturity assessment and long-term roadmap development
  • Cost governance frameworks, reporting dashboards and KPI definition
  • Embedding FinOps accountability across engineering teams
Proven result £200k/month cloud cost reduction

At the UK Home Office, maturing FinOps capability from Pre-crawl to Walk.

What I deliver

Product Growth & Maturity

For organisations sitting on platforms, tools, or internal systems with untapped commercial potential. I help turn what you’ve already built into a scalable product offering, defining the commercial model, streamlining onboarding, and positioning the platform for market traction and revenue growth.

  • Identifying and validating commercial opportunities from existing platforms
  • Reducing client onboarding time through process improvement and automation
  • Third-party integrations to unlock new revenue channels
  • Aligning product, sales, and engineering around scalable growth
Proven result 4 → 24 clients per year

Commercialised an internal e-commerce platform, cutting onboarding from 12 weeks to 2.

How I operate

One consultant, four hats

I flex across disciplines depending on what the engagement needs, always anchored to cloud platforms in complex environments.

Own the Roadmap

Define what to build, why, and in what order. I bring product thinking to infrastructure, business intent into a backlog engineers can execute against.

Product Management

Drive the Delivery

Run the cadence, clear the blockers, and hold teams accountable to shipping. I help provide momentum, reduce risk, stabilise delivery and deliver value iteratively.

Delivery Management

Bridge the Gap

Turn vague requirements into detailed specs. I connect what stakeholders want with what engineers need: discovery, documentation, and validation.

Business Analysis

Fix the Process

Identify waste, rework, and inefficiency. I apply structured improvement frameworks to operational problems and make the fix stick.

IoT & Connected Platforms

Scale-ups & Enterprise

Growth-stage platforms needing structure.

Engagement models

Flexible ways to work together

01

Project Based Delivery

Defined through an agreed Statement of Work (SoW) with clear deliverables, ownership and measurable outcomes. Ideal for organisations needing structured support for a specific initiative such as platform improvements, discovery phases, cloud optimisation, or product delivery across a 3-6 month period and beyond.

Best forStructured initiatives & platform development
02

Short-term Sprints

Designed for focused engagements lasting two to four weeks. This includes rapid discovery, Jira and delivery workflow setup, cloud or FinOps assessments, backlog triage, or documentation and product artefact creation. Perfect when you need quick momentum or specialist support without long-term commitment.

Best forDiscoveries, assessments & backlog triage
03

Fractional Support

Suitable when full-time staffing isn’t required, but consistent expert input is. This model works well for managing platforms post go-live, supporting product strategy, steering delivery, or maintaining FinOps and cost governance. We agree on the level of involvement required, from a few hours a week to recurring advisory sessions.

Best forPost go-live support, small projects & FinOps governance
