About the Author

I spent years scratching a living as an actor, where I learned to read rooms and engage an audience. Then I became a demo specialist, living in the software to make it appear effortless on stage. After moving to Montreal, I enjoyed a stint in technical marketing, translating features into value, before finally stumbling into product management. 

Since then, I’ve spent over two decades leading teams through successful launches, predictable failures, and everything in between. My background spans B2B software companies from scrappy startups to thousand-person enterprises. All these experiences taught me more than any MBA program ever could.

Originally from the UK, so the cynicism is intentional and any optimism accidental.
