About Mat

I'm a Senior Management Consultant and PM/BA hybrid with 19+ years delivering complex digital projects and products across FinTech, eCommerce, SaaS, and Travel.

My approach: Define project direction during discovery, not after. I run structured stakeholder workshops, translate complexity into actionable requirements, and work closely with engineering teams to ensure we build what actually solves the problem.

WHAT I DELIVER:

Discovery & Requirements
Stakeholder workshops, user journey mapping, prioritised roadmaps, requirements specifications that answer "what are we building and why?"

Product Ownership & Delivery
Backlog ownership, sprint planning, user stories, acceptance criteria, UAT leadership, go-to-market support, vendor/partner management.

Technical Coordination
APIs, system architectures, data flows, CRM integrations, platform decisions. I bridge business and engineering to avoid costly mistakes.

Delivery Rescue
Resolved critical issues on live projects, introduced process improvements, scaled teams without overcomplicating.

DOMAINS: FinTech (mortgage platforms, lending), eCommerce (retail, B2B), Travel & Tourism, SaaS, Media, Enterprise Transformation, Startups & Scale-ups

Available for remote contract roles. Discovery-heavy, transformation, and platform delivery preferred.
