Where I do my best work.

I'm open to the right permanent Director, Head or VP of Product role in health and care, and to interim work in the meantime.

Leading a product function, whether it's established or still to be built.
In an organisation that understands product, with a clear business strategy.
Where challenge is welcome and people enjoy working a problem through together.
Where people can be open about how they work best.

“She's hands down the best product person I've worked with.”

Alex Green, Director of Product and Technology Delivery

“I would absolutely recommend Emily to any company looking for a senior product leader, whether they have an established product function or need someone to build one, as Emily can do both.”
