Where I add value

Experienced product thinking, exactly when you need it.

Sometimes you need a single clear-headed conversation. Sometimes you need someone to get into the detail and lead the work.

I bring a decade of product, commercial and investment experience to help teams make sense of complexity without adding layers, theatre or a deck that sits on a shelf.

A good time to call

You know something needs to move, but the next step is not yet obvious.

Your roadmap is busy but the direction is fuzzy.

A valuable idea needs testing before you invest.

The team needs senior product leadership, not another full-time hire.

A difficult decision would benefit from an independent perspective.

About

Tim Doughty

Tim Doughty

Product leader working at the intersection of product, commercial strategy and capital.

I have spent the last decade inside fast-moving, investor-led environments where products need to make commercial sense quickly. Previously, I led product across the Motive Partners portfolio and worked directly with Apollo Global Management-backed companies.

I am at my best when the situation is ambiguous, the stakes are real and a team needs enough clarity to move.
