WORK & CLIENT STORIES

Different starting points.
Meaningful next steps.

From international product teams to one person finding the courage to make a change. A closer look at the work behind the words.

PRODUCT, DELIVERY & OPERATIONS

Bringing people
and work together.

Six examples spanning enterprise delivery, founder-led products, mobile apps, and the systems that help teams work well.

Enterprise operations

Tools people actually adopted.

Directed programme delivery for internal automation tools, with training and a clear adoption framework built into the rollout.

My role

Coordinated the roadmap with executives, aligned delivery with hiring-efficiency goals, and supported a 37-person department’s migration to Workday.

What changed

Reduced manual workflows by 25%, improved reporting accuracy, and completed the department migration with zero downtime.

Product launch

From an idea to a working MVP.

A founder had a vision and a budget for a “Slack meets Trello” platform, but no technical background or delivery team.

My role

Turned the concept into a roadmap and a 50-page specification, sourced a designer, led prototyping and two focus groups, and hired a global development team.

What changed

Focus groups produced an 80% approval rate. The MVP was delivered in six months, aligned with user priorities, with Scrum and one-to-one team coaching supporting delivery.

Data platform delivery

Complex data. A product ready for UAT.

Led Phase 2 delivery of an enterprise R&D data platform and web application, connecting scientific needs with product delivery.

My role

Translated scientist and business needs into user stories and acceptance criteria. Coordinated engineering, data, platform, and business teams while managing the Azure DevOps backlog, dependencies, and risks.

What changed

Delivered a functionally complete solution for business UAT, improved requirements clarity, and established a structured roadmap for enhancements and industrialisation.

Hiring platform

Clearer requirements. Better conversion.

Combined product requirements, Agile delivery practices, and team development to support a hiring platform’s international adoption.

My role

Authored a 50-page PRD, introduced sprint practices and retrospectives, built and coached a 12-person cross-functional team, and mentored two PMs to independence in three months.

What changed

The project achieved a 30% candidate conversion boost, 15% less rework through clearer requirements, and a 20% faster delivery pace.

Mobile product delivery

Building the rhythm for mobile delivery.

Built delivery processes for a mobile product line and helped establish the foundation for a new mobile apps division.

My role

Introduced Scrum and biweekly releases, conducted user research, created personas, and worked with the CEO on OKRs and the roadmap.

What changed

Established a biweekly release cadence and supported higher retention and engagement through validated features.

Knowledge & onboarding

A shared identity. A place to find answers.

Brought department branding, onboarding, and shared knowledge into a more coherent experience for the team and its clients.

My role

Created a department identity across visuals, messaging, and tone. Reworked Confluence into a client self-service hub and internal knowledge base, and created onboarding programmes for PMs, analysts, and vendors.

What changed

Delivered templates, guides, and training flows using tools including Degreed and Figma to support onboarding and adoption.

COACHING JOURNEYS

Progress that
belongs to you.

Longer coaching journeys and reflections shared by clients after individual sessions. All stories are anonymous.

Business launch

She launched her own business.

A client launched her own business after our coaching journey together. The decisions and the work were hers; coaching provided support along the way.

Career progression

She asked for more. A new chapter opened.

A client asked for a raise after our work together. That step was followed by a new title and a new career path, opening a different professional chapter.

Career transition

Seeing strengths. Trusting a new direction.

A client felt unsure about succeeding in a new profession. After the session, they described greater confidence in their choice and a clearer sense of the strengths they could draw on.

Clarity & next steps

A conversation that revealed a way forward.

During the session, a client recognised a way forward. Afterwards, they described feeling better, with a clearer goal and a plan for their next steps.
