About
PM · Fintech / Payments at impact.com
Cape Town
I'm a product manager at impact.com, rebuilding our agentic solutions and shipping the payments and fintech flows that move money between thousands of partners across the globe.
I have an AuDHD brain and I don't medicate it. The pattern-matching and end-to-end obsession that comes with it is my edge.
I'm a people person who loves to create. The fact that I get to ideate, build, empathise and ship is why I love what I do.
How I think
01
Ship the flow, not the feature.
02
In payments, trust is the product — everything else is decoration.
03
AI is the new co-founder. Build with it, not around it.
04
The best product work looks incredibly obvious in hindsight.
05
I like to talk to people !!!

All obsessed over.
AI × Payments
Agentic checkout exploration
Prototyped an LLM-mediated checkout where the agent negotiates method, currency and timing on behalf of the buyer. Shipped the demo, kept the learnings.

Onboarding, halved
Took a 14-step partner onboarding down to 6 by killing every screen that didn't earn its place. Activation up, support tickets down.
Writing
Field notes
Short essays on AI, payments, and what product managers actually do when no one's watching.
