Decades of hands-on product experience across regulated industries — with a practical approach that bridges theory and delivery.

Mission

Practical, structured guidance

At Proffyn, the goal is simple: distil technical expertise and real-world experience to help companies and individuals unlock their full potential.

Experience

Over several decades, I have built up a wealth of experience working with some of the world's leading companies across Financial Services, Insurance, Technology, Compliance, Aerospace and Automotive. I'm used to operating within the tight restrictions mandated by these highly regulated industries.

I know the reality of delivering projects in the real world: limited resources, aggressive timeframes, demanding stakeholders, aging technology, ever-growing product backlogs. My strength lies in balancing these competing needs to optimise business outcomes.

At Proffyn, my mission is to distil and share the blend of technical expertise and real-world experience I've gathered over the years. The goal is simple: practical, structured guidance that helps companies and individuals unlock their full potential.

Background

From engineering to product

BEng Engineering, University of Nottingham. Early career in world-class engineering firms including Rolls-Royce, Nissan, and Boeing. Then moved into software and product — roles include software engineer, implementation consultant, and product leadership.

Organisations I've worked with include General Motors, Royal Bank of Canada, Apple, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, ING, FWD Global, and Swiss Re. I'm passionate about grasping complex topics and translating them for multiple audiences — from CxO to Engineering — and helping others reach their potential.

Strength

Clarity across the stack

Communicate from board level to engineering. Strategy, roadmaps, and execution — with a focus on outcomes that stick.
