Most product managers learn the domain after they join. I started in it.

I spent three years as a practising civil litigator, managing independent caseloads in occupational disease and personal injury under the Civil Procedure Rules. That work taught me how legal reasoning actually holds together: the structure, the constraints, where judgment is irreplaceable and where process can be systematised.

At Thomson Reuters and Practical Law, I turned England and Wales civil litigation into structured digital workflows used by UK law firms — not as an observer, but as someone who had done the work the product was trying to support.

Since then: enterprise delivery across EMEA at IBM iX, digital transformation across a multi-country product portfolio at Leyton, platform product work at Moove, and product leadership for a consent-based medical data platform at Tamedocs.

Today I run Dragonform, my enterprise AI product practice, and build my own products, prototypes and creative projects alongside it.

My view: most AI work in regulated domains fails because the people building it have never had to defend a limitation to a judge, a client or a regulator. Complex reasoning has structure, but it also has judgment calls that do not compress neatly into a workflow. Knowing the difference is the job.
