The journey

Ten years, five chapters

From hands-on design work to owning program governance and delivery. Click a chapter, or just keep scrolling.

Delivery note

Every program starts as a people-and-cadence problem, not a tooling problem — GenAI just closes the gap between the brief and the delivery a lot faster, once the governance is right.

Leadership & delivery governance

Running the program, not just the sprint

Leading people and leading pipelines are the same skill — set a clear cadence, build the governance, and coach people into it.

Program governance

Delivery cadence, RAID tracking and day-to-day direction for a 25-member cross-functional production organisation.

Feedback & KPI frameworks

Structured, performance-KPI review cadences that lifted team review scores 20% and cut revision cycles in half.

GenAI tool evaluation

Evaluated, rolled out and governed RunwayML, Kling AI, Magnific, ChatGPT Pro and Claude.ai — use-case selection, tool evaluation and training, end to end.

Cross-functional alignment

The connective tissue between production, project managers and GTM — briefs land clean because the loop is built, not improvised.
