BELIEVEA little team spirit ↘

Product with
people in mind.

I lead product teams and turn complex challenges into useful customer experiences, with curiosity, clarity, and a little optimism.

01 / Selected experience

The work behind
the product.

01
Customer experience

Reducing friction
when every moment counts.

Real-time journeys, clearer feedback, and thoughtful error handling.

UX collaboration
Product analytics
Cross-market delivery
The context

In live sports experiences, conditions can change while someone is making a decision. The interface needs to help people understand what happened and what to do next.

My contribution

At Kaizen Gaming, I’ve worked with Design and Engineering on real-time interaction and error-handling improvements, connecting customer feedback with technical dependencies and market requirements.

The product principle

A useful error message gives the customer a clear next step.

02
Connected products

Making the pieces
work together.

Identity verification, external providers, and the systems behind the screen.

Partner relationships
Technical dependencies
Product ownership
The context

A simple customer journey can rely on several providers and internal systems. Product decisions need to account for those connections from the start.

My contribution

My work has included KYC integrations with IDnow and Intelli, relationships with feed providers, player statistics, and integrations with internal odds systems. An engineering background helps me ask better questions about feasibility and dependencies.

The product principle

The customer sees one experience. The team needs to understand the whole system.

03
Product leadership

Helping good teams
take real ownership.

Strategy, coaching, and a shared understanding of what matters next.

People management
Roadmap decisions
Stakeholder alignment
The context

As a product area grows, the work changes. Clear priorities and independent decision-making become as important as the next release.

My contribution

As a Group Product Manager, I own strategy and roadmaps for betting experiences and promotional products, while coaching Product Managers on discovery, delivery, and ownership. I partner with Business Intelligence to bring adoption analysis into roadmap conversations.

The product principle

Give people context, clear expectations, and space to make decisions.

A little curiosity, in motion

Change the lens.
See what matters.

The human lens

Make the next step obvious.

Clear feedback and a useful next step help people make decisions with confidence.

One idea. Three perspectives.
The people perspective Clarity, confidence, and less friction connect around people. People CLARITY CONFIDENCE LESS FRICTION
02 / A few words of my own

From the touchline
to the roadmap.

03 / The person behind it

An engineer’s curiosity.
A product leader’s lens.

I started in software engineering at Nokia, moved into Scrum and product ownership, and now lead a product area at Kaizen Gaming. I’m interested in the point where technology, human behaviour, and business meet.

Sportsbook has taught me to work with complex systems, changing conditions, and customers across markets. The questions that interest me travel well: is this useful, is it understandable, and is it worth building?

A little beyond work
Away from the roadmap

There’s more to
the story.

The interests that keep me curious outside work.

01 / On the pitch

Football

I play and follow the game. There’s always something to learn about teamwork.

02 / Behind the choices

Human behaviour & decision making

I’m curious about how people make choices, form habits, and use the experiences we build.

03 / In everyday life

Stoic thinking

A reminder to focus on what I can influence and respond thoughtfully.

04 / Let’s connect

Good things start
with a conversation.

A product challenge, a team question, or simply a good idea.
I’m always up for a thoughtful conversation.
