Product & Technology Performance Leader
I work with product and engineering organisations to improve delivery performance, strengthen operating models and increase engineering effectiveness in both scale up and enterprise environments.
About Gilbert – Product & Technology Leadership Experience
I’m a senior product and technology leader with 20 plus years experience across SaaS, scale ups and regulated enterprise environments.
I have held CTO. CPTO, Head of Engineering and Global Transformation roles.
I help organisations improve delivery performance by removing systemic friction, clarifying ownership and strengthening how product and engineering work together.
Where Product & Engineering Delivery Breaks Down
Even experienced product and engineering teams struggle with delivery predictability. Roadmaps slip. Priorities shift. Decisions stall. Teams feel busy but outcomes lag. The issue is rarely effort or talent. It is usually systemic friction across ownership, alignment and operating model clarity.
• Unclear product ownership and decision rights
• Roadmaps disconnected from strategy
• Competing stakeholder priorities
• Engineering capacity trapped in reactive work
• Weak discovery discipline
• Lack of measurable delivery insight
How I Can Help You
Performance Diagnostic
A focused review to uncover the systemic constraints affecting delivery performance.
Through leadership interviews, artefact review and where available delivery metrics, I identify the friction across ownership, prioritisation, operating model and flow. The output is a clear, prioritised view of what is slowing your teams and what to address first.
Leadership and Team Development
Develop product and engineering leaders who can build high performing teams.
Through practical coaching and hands on advisory, I support leaders in strengthening alignment, raising standards and improving how their teams plan, collaborate and execute. This work focuses on capability, not theory.
Operating Model & Delivery Reset
Clarify how product and engineering should work together to deliver predictably.
I work with leadership teams to refine ownership, decision making, roadmap alignment and cross functional execution so teams can operate with less friction and greater accountability. The goal is sustainable performance, not short term acceleration.
Product & Technology Investment Readiness
Prepare your product and technology organisation for growth, investment or exit.
I help leadership teams assess product maturity, engineering capability, delivery predictability and operating model clarity to ensure they are ready for investor scrutiny and scaling. This work strengthens both narrative and operational substance.
