I’m a product manager with a fast brain and a mouth that sometimes outruns my thinking. I love big ideas but lose patience with long documents, formal processes and carefully worded emails.

Right now I’m delivering a major migration project with a client 11 hours ahead, teams spread across continents and a consulting partner coordinating everything. It’s busy and often chaotic.

I avoided AI for a long time. I didn’t trust it, didn’t know how to begin and worried it might replace me. But after finally trying ChatGPT two years ago, it quickly became part of how I work.

AI now helps me organise my thoughts, tidy up my words, ease stress and get started on the tasks I’d usually avoid. I’ve used it to plan workshops, design away days, invent silly team games and even stay on top of life admin. It helps me show up as a better PM, a better teammate and occasionally a better human.
