Whether building digital products, molding young minds or growth hacking, Grant finds passion in challenging the status quo, changing behaviors and increasing conversions for good. He's spent the last decade shaping digital products from startup to enterprise, as well as several years managing account acquisition for a Colorado Community Bank. Grant now leads the Product Management practice for Ippon, a technology consultancy that supports digital transformation, cloud modernization and organizational change management.

Not enough of an origin story? Grant's path to product and data-driven decision making came by way of spearheading an early digital marketing arm within a traditional ad agency and leading the earliest digital campaigns driving DC and LA motorists from their Luxury sedans to adopt public transit.

Favorite successes -
1) taking a 2-sided market startup redesign from seed round to multi-million Series A;
2) reducing a community bank's account opening by more than 300% that helped support more than $1B in new assets; and
3) playing a leading role in a F500 bank's deployment and rollout of custom agent servicing app for +1500 agents.

Grant's a unique blend of creative strategist and metric-driven entrepreneur, principled in learning from customer feedback, and iterative improvement. He focuses on increased revenue and impact through assessing market fit, evaluating experience and developing creative, measurable strategies for targeted customer engagement. And coaching organizations to do the same.

VP of Engineering at EMBURSE / CTO at Captio

I'm VP of Engineering at Emburse a large US-based fintech and CTO at Captio (part of the Emburse group). My goal is to transform the product & engineering culture in the whole company while building and scaling the European Hub in Europe.

Previous to that, I've been Head of the new Bumble (Badoo) Hub in Spain, leading the team's construction, growth and improvement and developing its culture and operation model with maximum focus on scalability and product innovation.


For more than 20 years in the digital sector, I have done a lot of different things with multiple roles: from founding my own software company or helping other companies around the world in their tech and organisational transformation, building and growing large product & engineering teams or being CTO for many years in successful scale-ups like Tiendeo.

I love challenging myself and my teams and my favourite way to do this is based on freedom of action but with a strong alignment with practical OKR. After some years I realised we needed another approach, after seeing the same problems and wrong and theoretical approaches too many times: we call it LEAN OKR.


While using it, as well as other Agile practices, with my product & engineering teams, I love teaching this and other topics in many different academies, universities, and events like ESADE, GeeksHub, and others. In 2019 I was part of the CAS19 organization team in Barcelona.
