Senior Product Manager at RMS
BSc MSc MRes EngD
A 3D Geospatial Specialist with over eight years of experience of business-oriented research. I enjoy working on the boundary of research and business, where I can innovate while addressing real-world and tangible challenges. Interdisciplinary in nature, I have worked in many different domains from transport planning to human behaviour understanding to autonomous vehicles. My overall approach focuses on two key principles: user-centric design, and data quality. I want to deliver high quality analysis that decision makers and stakeholders can trust, providing them with useful business insight for data-informed decisions by leveraging the power of geospatial data.
