Transformation, ripe & ready.

02 · What I do

Five practices, one senior partner.

Most transformations stall in the handoffs between strategy, product, tech and delivery. I work across all of them, so nothing gets lost in between.

01 / Strategy

Digital strategyKnow where you're going, and why.

Transformation vision, target operating model and a roadmap people can execute. I turn ambition into prioritised bets with clear business cases and measurable outcomes.

  • Vision & roadmap
  • Target operating model
  • Portfolio prioritisation
  • Business cases
02 / Product

Product leadershipBuild the right thing, not just things.

Product vision, discovery and the operating model to scale it. I set up product teams that decide with evidence, measure with OKRs and ship value continuously.

  • Product vision
  • Discovery
  • OKRs & metrics
  • Product org design
  • Coaching PMs
03 / AI

AI strategy & adoptionFrom hype to production.

Find the AI use cases worth funding, move from pilots to production, and put the governance in place to do it responsibly. Pragmatic, measurable and safe.

  • Use-case discovery & ROI
  • GenAI & agents
  • Pilot → production
  • AI governance
  • Team enablement
04 / Delivery

Delivery managementPromises kept, on time.

Programme leadership for complex, multi-team initiatives. I bring structure without bureaucracy, recover programmes in trouble, and keep vendors and stakeholders aligned.

  • Programme & PMO
  • Agile at scale
  • Project recovery
  • Vendor management
  • Governance
05 / Technology

Technology leadership without a full-time hire: architecture decisions, engineering practices, team building and hiring, tech due diligence, and a credible voice in the boardroom.

  • Cloud & platform
  • Engineering excellence
  • Hiring & team building
  • Tech due diligence

04 · Approach

Hands-on, not slideware.

Every engagement follows the same arc: understand deeply, decide clearly, deliver with your people, and leave them stronger.

01

Listen & diagnose

Interviews, data and a hard look at how work really flows. Find the real constraint, not the loudest one.

02

Shape the plan

A small number of clear priorities, owners and outcomes. A roadmap the team believes in.

03

Deliver together

Work inside the team: unblock, decide, ship. Visible progress within the first weeks.

04

Hand over

Skills, rituals and documentation stay with you. Success is when you no longer need me.

05 · About Avocado

Why Avocado?

Avocado is my management company: a boutique, independent consultancy for organisations going through digital transformation.

I've spent my career where strategy meets execution: shaping product and technology strategy, leading engineering and delivery teams, and bringing AI from slideware into production. Avocado is how I bring that experience to a small number of clients at a time.

I work with scale-ups, mid-size companies and corporate teams, remotely or on-site.

Good transformation is like a good avocado: you can't rush it, you know when it's ripe, and everything grows around a solid core.
Skin
Robust governance that protects the work without smothering it.
Flesh
Real value for users and the business, shipped in small, regular slices.
Pit
A strong core team and platform you can keep growing from.
