Fractional CPO · Product & operations consultancy
Hands-on product and operations leadership for regulated and complex businesses. I help you decide what to build, fix how your teams deliver it, and leave behind capability that lasts.

Sound familiar?
Most consultants hand over a deck. I join your team, make the calls with you, and run the work until it lands.
What I do
01
Senior product leadership without the full-time hire. I run the product function, set the strategy and roadmap, and hold the leadership team to it.
Call me when
You have no product leader, a gap between hires, or a team that is shipping but not moving the numbers.
02
Faster, more predictable delivery. I redesign how product and technology work together, then run the change sprint by sprint while the business keeps shipping.
Call me when
Delivery has slowed after rapid growth, a replatform or a restructure, and nobody can say why.
03
Stop writing requirements documents. I set up continuous discovery and an AI toolchain that turns ideas into working, testable prototypes in days.
Call me when
Discovery takes months, customer validation is expensive, or engineering keeps building the wrong thing.
04
Replatforming without losing customers. I own vendor selection, the commercial deal and the migration plan, from shortlist to switch-over.
Call me when
You are consolidating platforms, choosing a vendor, or pivoting your product to a new model such as B2B or SaaS.

How I work
A structured read of your strategy, customers, team, KPIs and process maturity. You get a candid diagnosis and a short list of the moves that matter most.
Strategy, priorities and measures agreed with leadership. I use tools like the Lean Value Tree and value-and-risk scorecards so every piece of work traces back to a goal.
I lead the work myself: running the roadmap, the discovery, the programme and the vendors. It is not advice handed over for someone else to implement.
Competency frameworks, coaching and metrics your team keeps after I leave. The aim is capability that lasts, not dependency on me.
Who you’ll work with
I’ve spent twenty years running product and operations inside regulated businesses. That includes seven years in financial services (consumer credit at GE Capital, investing at Interactive Investor, payments at WorldRemit) and a decade owning gaming P&Ls at Sky Betting & Gaming and Paddy Power.
I’ve led teams of up to 35, owned a P&L of £12m gross win on £350m turnover, and personally run the operating model changes, programmes and competency frameworks that moved each business forward while it kept shipping.
When you hire Foresight, you get me: the person who writes the strategy is the same person who runs the delivery.
