Turning a fragmented initiative into an international product.

Context.

A data and business-intelligence initiative had become fragmented across four functions, with delivery shaped by multiple single-market migrations rather than a repeatable enterprise product.

The challenge.

The product needed a coherent proposition, scalable platform direction and an operating model capable of supporting international adoption.

Jon’s remit.

Jon acted as product sponsor and hands-on product leader, defining target markets, proposition, packaging, go-to-market and the early-adopter strategy.

Decisions and actions.

• Consolidated four data and AI functions into one release train - executed in partnership with his engineering leadership peer.
• Redirected the work from a single-market migration to an enterprise data platform.
• Connected product development, commercialisation and international launch decisions.

Outcomes.

• Reached general availability in eight markets within 12 months.
• Protected a seven-figure partnership investment.
• Established a repeatable foundation for connected data, business intelligence and agentic AI.
