About
Every competitive advantage has an expiry date. I’m a Fractional CTO/CPO and product strategy advisor who helps founders and leadership teams turn AI and shifting markets into their next advantage.
I bring 25+ years across technology, product leadership and entrepreneurship, including leading teams at Cerner (now Oracle) and taking an EdTech company from $1M to $5M ARR. I work with founders, growth-stage companies and enterprise leadership teams who need senior product and technology direction without building a full-time executive function.
My work is anchored in Liquid Ocean®, my framework for continuous reinvention: Sense, Decide, Move, Repeat. It’s the subject of my book, The Liquid Ocean Compass, and the method behind how I work, whether as an ongoing fractional CTO/CPO or through two fixed-scope Sprints of 4 to 12 weeks, with success criteria agreed before we start:
AI Value Sprint: we take one AI initiative through my proprietary 7 Gates to decide whether to build, buy, redesign or stop, and you get an evidence-backed investment recommendation.
Leadership Reinvention Sprint: Founders and Leaders move from running today’s business to owning the next opportunity, with evidence-backed proposals, executive decisions and clear next steps.
I’ve led products, technology teams and market-entry work across Australia, India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and wider APAC, so I bring practical depth in regional markets, cross-cultural execution and scaling across different operating environments.
If you’re weighing an AI investment or the next stage of the business, I’m happy to start with a conversation.
