For growth leaders

More experiments into production.

Growth ideas need engineering time to become experiments. I build the landing pages, product changes and measurement, using agents across research and implementation so the work can move alongside the core product roadmap.

Alongside 100+ client engagements.
A few teams I’ve worked with:

  • The Motley Fool
  • Groupon
  • Contra
  • NOW TV
  • Topman
  • STRV
  • Theory11
  • The Collective
  • The Donkey Sanctuary
  • Rightcharge
  • Foundry
  • W Series
  • Photologo

The context

A useful experiment needs a product change and a way to measure it.

That may mean editing an onboarding flow, connecting a partner channel or repairing event tracking before a test can begin. I work through those dependencies with your growth and engineering teams, then build the agreed changes.

My background spans paid acquisition, attribution, product analytics and software engineering, including work for Groupon, The Motley Fool and Contra. We define the metric and baseline before implementation, then agree how long the experiment needs to run before drawing conclusions.

Areas of work

From the hypothesis to the measurement

  1. 01

    Activation and conversion

    Build the onboarding, landing page and product changes behind the metric you need to improve.

  2. 02

    Acquisition and partnerships

    Develop channel tooling, research workflows and conversion paths around a defined commercial opportunity.

  3. 03

    Lifecycle and retention

    Connect customer behaviour, billing and messaging so the next useful intervention can be tested.

  4. 04

    Measurement and decisions

    Repair instrumentation, establish a baseline and make the result clear enough to inform the next investment.

Work that’s live

Product and growth projects

Recent client work includes publishing, organic acquisition and commerce for Vouchernaut, and discount-extension measurement and attribution for Benson. The build accounts describe the systems behind the work.

Common questions

Anything else, ask on the call.

Contact me
  • We start with the commercial goal and choose a problem that can be tested. We agree the baseline, implementation and success measure, so progress is judged by the result of the work.

  • Yes. I work across product engineering, integrations, lifecycle systems and measurement. We agree access, dependencies and review with your product and engineering team before implementation.

  • Yes. We inspect the current instrumentation and definitions first. Any gaps needed to evaluate the change become part of the scope, with ownership clear at handover.

  • No. The commercial problem determines the implementation. Agents can accelerate research, production and operating workflows; a direct product or engineering change may be the right answer to the underlying constraint.

  • We agree the release timeline after checking the scope and dependencies. The time needed to observe a result depends on traffic, the metric and the size of the change. We agree how it will be evaluated before starting.
