I build things from zero.

I'm at my best in messy, early-stage environments where the problem isn't fully defined, the resources are limited, and progress matters more than perfection. I move quickly, ship early, learn from real users, and keep momentum high.

I co-founded FanHub, building it from zero to a live consumer platform used by tens of thousands of fans every month. As Chief Product Officer, I led product vision, growth loops, retention mechanics, and commercial productisation — turning fan behaviour into something brands actually pay for. It's a performance-driven model: partners only pay when we drove verified, incremental spend. No upfront fees. No vague attribution. Just intent → action → revenue.

Building FanHub taught me how hard — and how rewarding — it is to ship real products in ambiguous conditions: balancing user delight with commercial reality, simplifying complex systems for mass-market users, and taking full ownership of outcomes rather than hiding behind process.

I'm drawn to early-stage products, fast-moving teams, and work where you're creating something that didn't exist yesterday.
