About
Product & Growth Consultant | Market Research, MVP Strategy, Conversion & Monetisation
I help founders and product teams understand their market, prioritise what to build and improve conversion. I bring 8+ years of product and growth experience across travel and eSIM, mobile subscriptions, B2B/B2C marketplaces, AI products, Web3 and sports.
How I can help:
- Competitor, pricing and market-entry research with source-backed findings and practical recommendations.
- Product discovery, customer journeys, MVP scope, roadmaps and clear requirements for development teams.
- Onboarding, paywall and retention reviews, funnel analysis and prioritised experiment plans.
- Product analytics and evidence-based prioritisation.
My background includes launching an MVP with 6 B2B partners and 58 B2B sales under a fixed-term contract, leading a 15-person cross-functional team and working on eSIM growth and subscription monetisation.
Available for focused fixed-scope projects, part-time consulting and remote product contracts. Share your goal, current challenge and timeline, and I can suggest a practical first milestone.
