- Cross-functional leadership
Open to product roles at startups and scale-ups
I turned a services business into a scalable SaaS platform, as its only product manager.
I'm Harry. For four years I owned product end to end at a B2B SaaS scale-up, from strategy and board updates to building, launching and selling it. Now I want to do it again at a startup or scale-up.

What I bring
From strategy to launch, without a big team
Product strategy
Setting the vision and a multi-year plan, then holding strategy and delivery at the same time.
Cross-functional leadership
Working with the CEO, the board, engineering, data, services and sales, and getting them behind one plan.
Zero-to-one builds
Taking new products from a blank page to launch: discovery, UX, delivery, pricing and go-to-market.
Taking it to market
A marketing background means I don't stop at shipping. I've positioned, priced and launched what I built, and helped sales sell it.
In customers' words
What customers said about the products I built
Called action planning the "most valuable part of the platform", and far simpler than their old manual process.
Manufacturing customerOn Hive Actions Described the reporting as "phenomenal", and said it had "blown my mind".
University customerOn Insight Reporting Said the key driver grid is "so user-friendly for managers", and helps them frame conversations about next steps.
