About Martin

Product Manager | AI Product Manager | Product Owner | Delivery Lead with experience building and scaling digital products across travel risk, security, finance, and digital transformation.

I own products end-to-end—from discovery, customer research, roadmap definition, prioritisation, and execution through launch, adoption, and continuous optimisation. My experience includes SaaS platforms, Progressive Web Applications (PWAs), Native Mobile Applications, AI-powered products, automation platforms, and enterprise digital transformation.

Alongside traditional product management, I design and deliver AI-enabled solutions that automate workflows, improve decision-making, and accelerate product delivery. I use Generative AI throughout the product lifecycle—from customer discovery and product strategy to rapid prototyping, experimentation, and close collaboration with engineering teams. My experience includes LLM-powered features, AI product development, AI automation, intelligent workflows, prompt engineering, API integrations, and AI-assisted product experiences.

I focus on balancing customer value, business objectives, technical feasibility, security, and scalability to deliver products with measurable impact.
My background combines Product Management, Delivery Leadership, and strong technical understanding, enabling me to bridge strategy and execution. I work closely with Engineering, Design, QA, DevOps, Cyber Security, Marketing, and executive stakeholders to translate complex business problems into scalable, user-centric products.

I'm passionate about building AI-powered and enterprise products that solve real customer problems and create lasting business value.
