I build institutional-grade
product in markets where
domain fluency isn't optional.
“I've been in the room where the problems live, and I've built the things meant to solve them. The gap between those two is where the real work is.”
15 years inside institutional markets. The last six building from scratch: deal lifecycle platforms, pricing infrastructure, and transaction data products for institutional insurance and capital markets.
Where
I've built.
IOSCO-Compliant ILS Pricing Platform
Led product strategy for an IOSCO-compliant ILS pricing and data platform targeting institutional capital markets, owning architecture decisions and institutional stakeholder relationships.
Global Structured Finance, Institutional Relationships & Fixed Income Data
Six years that built the foundation. At BNY Mellon, covered global structured finance across project finance, Islamic finance, cat bonds, life settlements, and cross-border structured trades. In between, led commercial strategy at Fitch Solutions for fixed income analytics and data products across regulated financial services.
Engagement models built for your stage.
I work best where the problem is real but the path isn't clear, at the intersection of strategy, domain knowledge, and execution.
Fractional CPO / COO
Embedded executive leadership: 2 to 4 days per week, minimum 3 months. I own the product and operations functions, run the operating rhythm, and bridge strategy to execution so nothing falls through the cracks. Senior leadership leverage without the full-time cost.
GTM for Complex Markets
Positioning, ICP refinement, and outreach strategy for institutional buyers: funds, asset managers, and reinsurers. I've sat on both sides of the procurement table in regulated industries and know how decisions actually get made.
Product Strategy & Leadership
0→1 platform builds, roadmap design, and sequencing decisions for complex regulated markets. I've done this at Swiss Re scale and early-stage startup speed, from hand-drawn wireframes to IOSCO-audited infrastructure.
Data Infrastructure & Architecture
Defining what to build, how it surfaces to customers, and why the sequencing matters. I've led data product work from schema decisions to customer-facing outputs, bridging the gap between what engineers can build and what the market actually needs.
Thinking out loud.
Building Through Friction: on product, markets, and the gap between strategy and execution in complex industries.
When Shipping Gets Cheap, Focus Gets Expensive
The most dangerous thing AI did to product management wasn’t replace jobs. It removed the one thing that used to force good decisions: the cost of saying
