I help companies turn complex product ideas into structured, shipped solutions, from MVP to scale. With 7+ years of experience across fintech, climate finance and B2B SaaS, I specialize in environments where systems are complex, operations are fragmented and execution needs to be reliable. I operate as a full-cycle delivery lead, taking ownership from strategy and requirements through to execution and release. Whether it’s structuring a roadmap, cleaning up a messy backlog or building an MVP from scratch, I focus on bringing clarity and momentum to delivery. How I can help: - Product Strategy & MVP Delivery: Define roadmaps, prioritize effectively, and lead execution to bring products to market quickly and with clear business alignment. - Agile Delivery & Team Coordination: Manage cross-functional teams to ship consistently, remove blockers, and maintain delivery momentum across distributed environments. - Workflow & System Design (CRM / ERP / Operations): Translate complex financial and operational processes into structured systems, automation logic and scalable product architecture. - Process Optimization & Execution: Bring visibility to fragmented workflows, improve coordination, and ensure delivery aligns with business outcomes. - AI Prototyping & Workflow Automation: Leverage AI-native tools to prototype MVPs, automate internal processes, and accelerate product iteration. Experience highlights: - Led product and delivery across multi-country fintech and energy platforms - Built and structured products from early-stage MVP to scalable systems - Improved repayment performance by optimizing payment and collection workflows across markets - Language: Native French & Fluent English Based in Montreal, working remotely with global teams. Available for project-based or fractional engagements.

➡️ 12 years in startups ➡️ $25 million acquisition ➡️ Led marketing ➡️ Led operations ➡️ Now leading technology ➡️ Head of a team of 5 extremely talented, hand-picked developers I started my career as the non-technical cofounder of multiple startups. After my third project was acquired (we developed a video baby monitor with breath detection), I took the opportunity to solve the #1 problem that had plagued me through my first endeavors--unreliable communication and delivery from my technical cofounders, employees and contractors. I spent several years learning how to be my own technical co-founder and build now on a stack of React Native for the front end and Xano for the back end. In addition to guiding clients on how to most efficiently invest in their tech products, I also offer unlimited marketing and operations consulting at no additional cost because the more successful my clients are, the more successful I am. While doing work for a limited number of clients, I also have working on my own projects a small team of developers I hand-picked from the tech scene in Ecuador where I spend part of the year. Great news for my clients because I can scale up and scale back technical development on demand and have access to advanced expertise in security, LLMs, data science, etc.

You're here because you need change. Jira isn’t giving you the visibility or confidence you expected, and you need someone who can turn that uncertainty into a system you can actually rely on. The common pitfalls I see usually look something like this: - Work is difficult to track across teams - Ownership isn’t always clear - Workflows don’t reflect how things actually move - Reporting doesn’t match reality - Too much time is spent managing tickets instead of delivering Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying if you have all of these you’re doomed. But it’s usually a sign that your Jira setup needs reshaping. That’s where I come in. I’ve spent the last 4.5 years working as a Scrum Master, Agile Delivery Lead, and Jira specialist at Accenture, supporting enterprise teams in high-pressure environments to get the most out of how they deliver. That experience has given me a clear understanding. It’s not just about configuring Jira, it’s about making sure delivery actually works across teams, stakeholders, and timelines. My approach is delivery-led, not ceremony-led. I use Agile practices to improve flow, clarity, and ownership, not as rules to follow blindly. The goal is to help teams understand their work, manage it confidently, and become more self-managing over time. Here’s what I’ve done: ⚙️ Designed and implemented Jira workflows aligned to real delivery processes across multiple teams, improving flow, reducing bottlenecks, and supporting more predictable delivery 📊 Built dashboards that gave leadership clear visibility of progress, risks, and sprint health, helping restore confidence in reporting and decision-making 🐞 Created a defect management process that was adopted across the wider organisation, improving quality, reducing rework, and supporting more stable releases 🚀 Led delivery across projects exceeding £2M in value, ensuring Jira and ways of working held up under pressure in fast-paced Agile environments 🔄 Delivered 100+ releases across enterprise environments, helping teams maintain consistency, improve release confidence, and manage change effectively 🤝 Coached 100+ individuals and supported ways of working across 400+ colleagues, improving Agile maturity, team alignment, and overall delivery performance At its best, this approach has supported teams in delivering 20+ releases of shippable product, contributing to £20M+ in business value. What this has meant in practice: 👁️ Clear visibility of work across teams and stakeholders 📈 More predictable delivery with better control of releases 🤝 Stronger alignment between teams, leadership, and priorities ⏱️ Less time spent managing Jira, more time focused on delivery 📊 Reporting that leadership can actually trust 🚀 A setup that continues to work as teams grow and scale Want quick wins? I’ll review your Jira setup and walk you through practical improvements you can take away from a 30-minute call. 👇
