Hi, I'm Iain
I'm a Product Person
What does that mean?
I help individuals, teams or businesses build amazing digital experiences for their customers by making better decisions, faster. Particularly when combining qualitative and quantitative insight in to impactful change.
I support clients though individual coaching and mentoring with PMs, but I also work in-house, hand-in-hand with teams or leadership. I’ve done this in seed start-ups and FTSE50 businesses.
The benefit for my clients is access to experience and guidance, but without the financial commitment to full-time senior Product Directors/CPOs. Support has ranged from a few hours a month, up to several days a week for a long engagement.
If this sounds like it might benefit you then I’d love to chat and learn how I can help!
Testimonials
Paul Harrington
CTO @ Kayenta
Iain's Tech Product Management knowledge is deep, diverse and based on decades of hands-on experience within the industry. He has been there and done that, so many times and in a varied selection of domains and different Product roles.
He brings all these traits together to deliver an exceptional Product coaching experience and I would recommend him to anybody looking to deliver on a Product transformation within their organisation. Iain has helped me kick off this journey at Kayenta and I look forward to further opportunities to work together again in the future.
Vaughan Evans
Senior Product Director @ Informa
I highly recommend Iain to any company wanting to unlock commercial benefit by putting their customers' needs at the heart of what they do. Iain was instrumental in increasing product management capability at Informa Tech by building our ‘product muscle’ around customer insights, discovery, experimentation and iterative delivery. The Product Management processes, forums and ways of working that are now in place are the result of Iain’s efforts. Iain developed a Product Playbook plus built the internal skills we need through facilitated cross-functional team workshops and 1:1 coaching with PMs.
Chris Parsons
CTO & co-founder @ Cherrypick
Iain has been a very valuable and high impact coach. He is a product expert who really gets how to understand customer behaviour/experimentation and its impact on our priorities. He has very much helped us get the best from our Product Managers as we manage the pressures and complexities of running a fast paced startup. I’d very much recommend Iain to individuals or companies who are looking for similar things!
