I ship fintech products that stick — 12 years, 4,000+ users, and counting.

I grew with BrokerEngine from early-stage startup to 4,000+ users — spending six years in ops and delivery before moving into the PM seat. That dual background means I understand the domain, the users, and how to ship. Most recently: 90+ minutes cut per deal, user base doubled in two years.

Product Manager

AFG 2023 – Present
  • Scaled a broker platform to 4,000+ active users and 25,000+ end clients monthly, owning the full product backlog and prioritisation.
  • Led end-to-end delivery of an integrated lodgement flow (Fact Find, Credit Guide, Privacy Consent, Credit Proposal, AOL & Simpology) — cutting broker admin time by 90+ minutes per deal.
  • Drove product strategy across an 8-person cross-functional team inside a 40-person tech org, doubling the active user base during tenure.
  • Uniquely positioned: joined as an operator, ran the business on this platform for six years, then transitioned into the PM seat — bringing direct user empathy to every product decision.

Scrum Master / Operations Manager

BrokerEngine 2017 – 2023
  • Ran delivery for the core dev team through the 0 → 2,000 user growth phase, establishing the cadence and practices that let a small team ship consistently as the product scaled.
  • Built billing, support, CRM, and marketing automation from scratch — hands-on with the full operational stack that most PMs only read about in tickets.
  • Designed scalable customer success workflows; the systems built here underpinned growth to 4,000+ users after transitioning to PM.

Operations Manager / Production Coordinator

Marketing Results 2013 – 2017
  • Progressed from Production Coordinator to Operations Manager, overseeing delivery for a portfolio of digital marketing clients.
  • Built automation systems using Zapier, ActiveCampaign, and Infusionsoft — streamlining lead capture, nurture, and campaign workflows.

Bachelor of Business — Advertising & Integrated Marketing
Grounded my approach to user research in behavioural theory — useful for interview design, synthesis, and knowing which signals to trust.

Let's talk.

If you're building something in fintech or B2B SaaS and need a PM who's shipped at scale, I'd love to hear about it.
