“high challenge, low support”

40% of tech leaders say their manager is ineffective. Many product leaders are left to figure out their own growth path, without guidance or support.

If you’re a product leader ready to step up but not quite sure what this looks like, and how - this is just for you.

The Boost Package helps you stop waiting and start building the next level yourself.

Meet your expert product leadership coach

I’ve spent 17 years building and scaling products, leading teams, and navigating the messy middle of growth.

Along the way, I:

  • Helped create two UK unicorns : Funding Circle & Multiverse

  • Transformed multiple product organisations from struggling to thriving

  • Coached 150+ product leaders in 2 years

Now I combine real-world product leadership with accredited executive coaching to help ambitious leaders and teams scale, with more clarity, confidence, and less chaos.

Palma, Head of Product

I got the new job title, but mostly I feel I am starting to own that title. I am more confident in my skills, more proactive, and slowly getting into that strategic mindset.

Diana, Head of Product

Emma had a huge impact on my personal and professional growth by deepening my self-awareness, and helping me identify my strengths and blind spots, and cultivating a more decisive, results-focused mindset.

Feel more confident in your next step.
