§ About

Product marketing.
AI. Curiosity.

I help technical products become easier to discover, understand and choose.

Over the last 13 years I've worked across product marketing, SEO and partnerships, helping B2B software grow through better positioning, clearer stories and stronger distribution.

More recently, I've found myself building AI tools just as often as marketing campaigns, which turns out to be a very useful combination. I'm interested in the space between the idea and the shipped thing: the research, language, systems and small decisions that make a product feel more obvious and more useful.

Outside of work, you'll find me exploring the coast of Devon where I live, travelling somewhere specifically because of its seafood, or hanging out in Berlin, where my partner is from.

§ What I'm good at

  • Making technical products easier to discover, understand and choose

  • Turning product capability into a useful story

  • Partner marketing across ecosystems

  • Building and testing AI-assisted tools

§ How I work

  1. 01

    Start with the customer's actual words, not the internal deck

  2. 02

    Ask what job the product is helping someone get done

  3. 03

    Ship the artefact — page, prototype, dashboard or campaign — as part of the argument

  4. 04

    Treat research, writing, building and distribution as one loop

  5. 05

    Prefer useful, compounding assets to one-shot noise

§ Current interests

The things I keep circling back to — some become useful at work, some become small experiments, and some are simply interesting to me.

  • Small useful tools
  • AI product experiments
  • Dashboards as behaviour design
  • AI orchestration
  • Long bike rides
  • Local history
  • Colour systems
  • Micro-SaaS ideas
