About William

I help founders and product teams define, ship, and improve digital products, with a strong focus on activation, workflows, and execution in complex environments.

I typically step in as a Senior Product Manager or Product Lead when:

✔ A SaaS product or MVP is live, but onboarding or activation is underperforming
✔ Teams need clear product direction and prioritisation
✔ Delivery is slowed down by misalignment between product, engineering, and design
✔ Founders need a senior PM who can own problems end to end


💡 What I’ve Delivered

✅ Built Toggl Work from zero to a live, monetised B2B product
✅ Increased new-user activation by +159% through onboarding and UX changes
✅ Grew external active users +100% QoQ via product-led initiatives
✅ Defined monetisation strategy and pricing with revenue teams
✅ Shipped complex HR workflows (Time Off, Expenses, Benefits, Trips)
✅ Led fintech onboarding and KYC/IDV flows in regulated environments
✅ Hired, mentored, and supported Product Managers in remote teams
