FollowingHello! I'm Theo Young, a seasoned Lead Product Manager specialising in FinTech SaaS, based in Central London. With a track record of leading complex, large-scale transformation projects and implementing strategic product management processes, I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments. My career spans diverse roles where I've successfully managed global teams, revised UX frameworks, centralised customer portals, and led significant business transformation initiatives. I excel in developing functional UX designs, product roadmaps, and employing Agile/SCRUM methodologies to drive business value and operational excellence. Additionally, I'm passionate about AI, having completed a course at Oxford University, and continually seek to enhance product strategies and team performance through innovative approaches. Beyond work, I'm an avid musician and enjoy adventurous pursuits like traveling Alaska by dogsled and developing autonomous vertical farming solutions.
