Product · Strategy · Transformation · AI

I connect complex technologies, people and contexts into products that work in the real world.

My path has moved from industrial design to cloud services, venture building, commercial innovation and enterprise AI.

Today, I work as an AI native builder, collaborating with a team of AI systems and the right product, design, technical and contextual expertise to move an idea into reality.

I also work directly with business leaders to turn strategic intent into operating change and delivery.

I work where a product is more than a single interface.

The technology is evolving. The answer requires business, product, technology, operations and people to work as one system.

My role often connects leadership decisions with the teams, systems and products required to make change real.

Current professional workConfidential

Enterprise AI Platform

Product Lead for a Group AI Platform within HSBC Emerging Technology, Innovation & Ventures.

I work across portfolio direction, product boundaries, prioritisation, adoption, and the interfaces between business, product, engineering and governance.

The platform, architecture and operating context are confidential. It is included as professional scope, not presented as a personal case study.

Publicly documented work shows one part of the practice.

These two products are visually legible and suited to the Red Dot Design Concept format. They do not represent the full scope of my work.

A note on the Concept classification

Both were working products or pilots that completed governance, technical review and testing appropriate to their stage.

As a regulated bank, HSBC could not present innovation work as an established production case if that might mislead customers, investors or other stakeholders.

HSBC Trusted Identity

How might identity work when people control what they reveal?

I shaped the proposition, service logic and ecosystem narrative, translating decentralised identity into a coherent, governed and technically tested experience.

The challenge was making trust, technology and institutional responsibility coherent in one proposition.

HSBC AI Markets

How should people navigate markets when AI can produce more information than anyone can process?

I shaped the product proposition and interaction direction, connecting market context, AI possibilities, responsible use and visual product expression.

AI should expand how people explore complexity without obscuring human responsibility.

An extended ecosystem, not a single discipline.

I connect business and product teams with emerging technology, universities, research communities, designers, technical specialists and local context.

I help technical possibility gain product structure, commercial relevance and design sensitivity.

AI native by first principles

I collaborate with a team of AI systems across research, comparison, synthesis, production and iteration.

AI changes what one person can investigate and build. Using old methods for far more capable intelligence misses its potential.

Alert. Optimistic. Always learning.

01

Products become ecosystems

Hardware, software, data, operations and service experience must make sense as one system to the customer.

02

AI native, first principles

Start with what intelligent systems newly make possible, then redesign the product, service and organisation from first principles.

03

Reality is the final interface

A product is coherent only when it works with operations, regulation, customers, technical constraints and cultural context.

The path behind the work.

Different places taught me to notice what changes with context, without confusing brief exposure with local expertise.
