Interim Product Management
About Eddie Pratt
As the Founder and Director of Aspirito, I've been helping companies to build teams and deliver their products and services for over 12 years. I have technical degrees from both Cambridge and York Universities in the UK.
I have also trained in Human Computer Interaction and Co-Active and`Leadership Coaching. I'm well-versed with product management training and education, being both Pragmatic Marketing Certified and Product Focus Certified.
Team Builder
I have a track record of growing, coaching and running product management and platform teams in smaller businesses and complex large multi-nationals. I enjoy working out the team 'shape' and capability to match the organisational challenge.
Experienced and delivery focused
I've helped startups, growing companies and larger blue-chip corporations with their Product Management in the USA and UK. I know what it takes to get things delivered and shipped in both rigid hierarchies and in loosely-organised teams.
Skilled and adaptable
I've worked with mobile apps, web, hardware, software and services and managed P&L's of over £60M. I keep up-to-date with best practices through regular training and project work. I learn new technologies and tools rapidly whenever required.
Flexible
'Product Manager' can mean quite different things depending upon the company. I've worked where the emphasis is strategic and commercially focused, to the other extreme where it's almost completely about tactical delivery and doing.
Work | Selection of projects
I've helped a variety of excellent companies including: GoDaddy, Experian, eBay, Vodafone, Product Focus, Symbian, PointBase (DataMirror), Elata (Qualcomm) and Volantis.
