About

Currently leading UK planning, business operations and strategic projects at eBay. Prior to this, I worked at Meta looking after global product strategy and growth of its app developer products. At Uber, I led the product operations team in the UK and Ireland, launching Uber in new cities and bringing to market new product features for riders and drivers. Before life in product, I was a marketing all-rounder in the telco, finance and travel verticals with a focus on growth marketing and CRM.
