Product Consulting
Over 25 years of Product experience across multiple industries and tech domains available to you and your teams when you need it most.
Are you an entrepreneur that has a bunch of ideas in your head a vision that you're passionate about but you are struggling to translate that into tangible activity for your team. Would you like to have a no holds barred discussion with someone who's worked with entrepreneurs and senior business leaders for years and actually ENJOYS having the bumpy discussions but can drive them to a point where outcomes and the way forward seems incredibly clear?
A BIT about me: I have worked in the tech space for nearly 25 years for the last 15 as the most senior product leader in situ, working closely with C-Suite teams & managing global product and design teams of up to 80. My tenures have been in media, gaming, digital marketing, publishing, banking, FinTech, payments, Climate Tech and HealthTech.
Throughout my career I have spearheaded product innovation and growth enabling significant revenue growth from achieving product market fit, tailoring product experiences and customer journeys to meet specific customer needs and managed teams through significant growth and layoffs maintaining delivery focus and culture whichever direction the company is heading.
As a fCPO / Product Advisor for your company I will listen to your business goals to fully understand where you want to be and why. I will then look at working with you or your leadership team to define a clear set of outcomes you want to achieve whether that be transforming your product offering or re imagining your internal product process.
I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves to work with your execution and delivery team and am well equipped to handle challenges from your board.
What I want is to pass on my knowledge and give you and your team confidence in new ways of working that will enable you to avoid the inevitable pitfalls so many fail to navigate as they attempt to transform and grow and push their product vision forward. Does this sound too good to be true?

Organisations I have helped:
As a co-founder and CEO spinning many plates in a fast-paced environment, having Becky’s support was a huge relief. She took complete ownership of our product development process, which freed me up to focus on other aspects of the business. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by competing priorities, but Becky brought a level of organisation that made everything run smoother and helped us deliver better quality software and product exeperience

It was an absolute joy to work alongside Beks during our time at Infogrid.
She is a supportive and inspiring leader of people. She has nurtured a culture of genuine trust and openness in the Product team during a time of huge growth and change. She has built strong relationships both within the team and across the organisation and is widely respected by all. The result of this has been a highly motivated and confident product function, who are brave enough to face into some of the toughest problems with positivity and determination.
Working together as part of the leadership team there have, of course, been times we have disagreed and debated - but whenever that's happened Becky has listened, challenged and been as open to my point of view as she has been assertive about her own. Becky is always focussed on what matters to the product, the team and the business - never her own status or agenda. As a result of this, we have always been able to agree a strategy we can each firmly commit to, in turn providing clear direction to our teams and setting them up for success.
As a product leader, Becky has a wealth of experience which she is able to apply to situations as they arise. She has an innate understanding of what works and what doesn't, and an ability to coach her team, her peers and exec leaders to prevent costly mistakes and pitfalls.
Above all else, Becky is a huge source of energy and positivity. When times are tough, she leads from the front. When there are victories to celebrate she shines the spotlight on her team. It would be impossible to work alongside Becky and not be enthused and excited by the challenges that lie ahead.
I've worked very closely with Beks over the last couple of years. She is collaborative, commercial and an excellent Product Leader. We (robustly) bounced ideas off each other on a weekly basis and I trusted her opinion on some of the most challenging and important decisions we made around the direction of the company. She led her team from the front, building strong relationships across the company and bringing a deep experience of how businesses have scaled their products successfully and a willing attitude to roll her sleeves up and do what was needed to realise the vision. It was a pleasure working with her and I'm proud to have built a strong relationship with Beks.

Beks is awesome. Driven, focused and fun to work with. She has operated at the highest level of product development and delivery and her experience shines through in every interaction. She rolls her sleeves up and gets stuck in when required to get a job done. She provides arms length mentoring and leadership when required to draw the best out of people she is working with.
I cannot recommend Beks highly enough to add value to a product team.
Roger Nolan
Fractional CTO
Beks is able to cut through a lot the usual fluff in product organisations and get to the important decisions that need to be made. She's smart, very commercially minded and cares deeply about doing the right thing - both for the company and the product the company is building.

I’m so glad I got the opportunity to work with Beks again. She’s such a strong, inspirational leader - she knows exactly how to give the right balance of empowering / support. Great empathy, great Product knowledge, and always does so much more than anyone realises! I honestly don’t think many people have a clue how much she does!
Anyway, hope we get to work together again Beks!

HSBC
Becky was a breath of fresh air when she joined us at HSBC – a true Digital Product professional, with a collaborative, but pragmatic way of getting stuff done. Front and centre of her work ethic was a passion for doing the right thing for the customer, but always balanced with ensuring the best outcome for the business too.
Peter Byre
Group MD Concep
Beks built a whole team from scratch, brought Product front and centre in a SALES DRIVEN organisation and almost single-handedly plotted the course for our future product direction. She always provided unique insight where needed and was a great Senior leader. Highly recommended!

Infogrid
Becky’s greatest strength is her very human-centred way of working. She has brought warmth and humour to the role of VP at Infogrid, and lives by her promises. She has a high level of integrity and fostered an aura of trust and transparency in her teams. Becky takes the time to talk, and listen, to everyone and offer insights from her wealth of experience in the tech industry.
Becky took over the leadership of the Product team at Infogrid during a period of rapid growth, and guided the mix of very new and long-standing people to work together effectively across a diverse set of business propositions. Despite all the many challenges, Becky has never been fazed or faltered in her drive to make a better product team.
I have been lucky enough to work within a department run by Becky and I would seek out opportunities in any team she’s leading in the future, as I know this would be an energetic, fun and supportive place to work.
