With a career founded in writing, I pivoted to Product, enjoying the challenges offered by managing diverse products while bringing clarity of communication to my work. I&#39;m passionate about seeing how fast the space is evolving, and always interested to be part of the conversation, whether as a contributor, or writer.

Lessons From the Space Race: 3 Steps to Better Product Decisions

I've been in the digital industry for over 10 years and have worked across small and large charities, as well as my own freelance projects. I am now Director of Digital at the sector leading creative agency William Joseph. 

Having been at Cancer Research UK for the last four years, I have been able to work on high volume, high profile campaigns such as Race for Life, Dryathlon and the much-quoted #nomakeupselfie. 

In that time I helped drive forward the charity’s digital product and marketing capabilities to be some of the most respected and successful in the sector. 

I'm always excited to work with other organisations, share expertise and swap cat gifs. Give me a shout!

Product is Hard by Marty Cagan

Thriving in a start-up atmosphere, I'm an action-oriented person obsessed with delivering value from my work. A dedicated technologist with skills in both programming and sales skills I've been able to build amazing products with both technical and commercial expertise.

I'm never satisfied with my current situation and am obsessed with finding ways to overhaul both products and working practices in a never-ending process to try to find a better product and a better way to build that product.

Product Management Career

What do Product Managers Want From Their Bosses?

Amy started her career as a coordinator in the "glamorous" world of TV production in London, before making the switch to marketing. She spent the next four years getting into the nitty-gritty of database development as a Product Marketing Manager for SQL Server tools company Redgate. Immersing herself in the day-to-day life of a development team and getting to see the product management role up close on a daily basis has put her in good stead for her role with Mind the Product, where she now heads up all things marketing. In her time Amy has also developed and managed a successful insiders program for database professionals. Away from the technology space Amy has also spent a number of years in broader persuits as a Brand Manager for a leading horticultural company, whilst heading up marketing, operations and creative direction for largescale amateur theatre productions.

What can Non-Product People Learn From Product People?

I’m a Lisbon-based Senior Product Manager with 10+ years experience in software (researching, building and teaching), the last 4+ of which in product discovery and delivery (mostly in B2B products). Before joining Onfido, I did research (and a PhD) on real-time systems at LaSIGE, moved from software engineering to product management at Premium Minds (a Portuguese software development agency), and taught computer science courses at U. Lisbon and U. Lusófona. My current challenge at Onfido entails building tools and engines to efficiently combine AI-driven identity verification with expert human insight at high scale. Outside work, I’m a proud father of one, amateur piano and guitar player, and public transportation systems/maps enthusiast.
