PRODUCT COACHING
FOR THE AI ERA

I help leaders, founders and teams cut through the AI noise, focus on what truly matters, and turn ambitious ideas into scaleable, human-centered solutions.

As a significant contributor inside industry giants, including Apple and Deloitte, I’ve led product innovation and scaled teams to deliver breakthrough solutions. From startups to the Fortune 500, I have deep experience in turning complex challenges into clear, practical actions that accelerate your business forward.

With over 20 years experience in software engineering, product design & management, I have worked with some of the world’s most recognized brands to transform their business, build products customers love, and empower teams to do their best work.

Get in touch, and let’s talk about how
I can help you see the results you want
for your business.

How can I help your team succeed?

As a product coach, I’ll partner with you to unlock your team’s potential. You’ll be guided through strategies tailored to you and your team’s needs that not only solve immediate challenges but also build long-term capabilities.

How is a product coach different from a consultant?

Unlike consultants who often focus on predetermined solutions with a focus on short-term goals, I empower your team with the skills, mindset, and tools needed to drive innovation and execution from within.

Ready to harness AI’s potential but unsure where to start?

Are you building AI-powered products but struggling to create genuine user value? How do you navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape while staying focused on your core business? How do you build products that stand out in an AI-saturated market?

From wearable AI interfaces to enterprise AI transformation, I’ve helped businesses navigate:

  • Building AI-first product strategies that create real user value
  • Designing intuitive interfaces for emerging technologies (voice, wearables, mobile)
  • Validating AI product ideas with real users before heavy investment
  • Balancing cutting-edge AI capabilities with practical user needs
  • Scaling technical teams through rapid AI/mobile innovation cycles
  • Making data-driven product decisions in uncertain AI markets
  • Transforming traditional products with AI without losing core value
  • Building products for emerging platforms (Apple Watch, mobile-first experiences)

The key to innovation lies in the seamless integration of business, product, design & technology.

I’ve spent two decades at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and human-centered design, from leading mobile innovation at Apple’s Enterprise Design Lab to scaling teams at Deloitte Digital.

At Apple, I guided teams through user-led design processes for enterprise solutions, learning how the world’s most valuable company builds products people love.

At Deloitte Digital, I scaled mobile teams and delivered transformative solutions for global clients, mastering the art of turning ambitious visions into market-ready products.

Today, I apply these insights across emerging technologies – from AI integration to wearable interfaces. My recent work includes building popular applications for platforms like Apple Watch, proving that the same principles that work at enterprise scale can create breakthrough experiences in emerging markets.

Through my consultancy Cleverbit AI and product coaching practice, I help leaders navigate the complexity of modern product development while maintaining focus on what creates strategic growth.
