About Carl
I'm a passionate, user focused, and ambitious global Product Manager / Lead who enjoys shipping great products to users. I have a track record of leading multiple squads across multiple products, including 0-1 product launches and releases to over 3m users. With an excellent ability to bring clarity to products and teams, prioritise and trade-off features, and present vision and strategy to stakeholders. I'm confident I can lead products and teams that solve problems and ensure users have great experiences. I work transnationally, and with experience across Data, AI, Cybersecurity, and Fintech sectors, I collaborate with business and technical teams easily. One of my core strengths is leadership and mentoring; I directly lead a multinational team, as well as mentoring colleagues in other departments, developing a passion for coaching and empowering others.
