Hi, My Name is Chris.

I'm a Leadership Coach, Product Consultant, and BBQ Pitmaster.

Working for the last twenty years in Product and Technology is a journey that has been both rewarding and enlightening. Don't get me wrong, I had my fair share of bumps along the road, but getting through them made me who I am today.

Where did I start?

I started my career in the data centre, handling the server infrastructure before “the cloud” was a thing. From here, I worked my way up not the career ladder but the OSI-model layers. Providing me with a robust foundation in IT systems and change management.

I continued my career by delving into technical consultancy, project management, and IT operations. Completing my personal “plan, build, run” cycle.
Maybe I should stop making nerdy IT references.

In 2017, I moved my life and career from the heart of Europe to the pearl of the Middle East, where I would stay for the next six years.
Now fully immersed in Product Management, I started building platform products like payment, loyalty, and WhatsApp, which thousands of people in the region use. However, I later switched to building and guiding the product teams to continue the work.
I completed my stint as Product Director, leading a team of talented individuals managing a billion-dollar B2C product before starting my journey in Product Operations.
Suddenly, my role wasn't about managing products anymore but about managing the whole product management experience. I PMed the PM experience, making coaching a big part of my role.
Today, I'm back in the heart of Europe, but thanks to the power of technology, I work with clients from around the world.

During my carrer so far I also had the opportunity to collect some shiny badges.

Helping Product Leaders Build Empowered Teams.
BOOK A CALL

Product Coffee

No matter if you have any questions on Product Management, need a second opinion on a problem or want to chat in general about being a PM. (Coffee is optional)

Product Consulting

Sometimes, you need someone who has done it before. From finding product market fit to digital transformation to driving product growth.

Leadership Coaching

Transitioning into a leadership role is more than just a promotion. Managing expectations, thinking strategically and being a role model can quickly feel overwhelming.
