About
I'm Christopher. I run product teams.
I have spent 17 years in product, most of it where the audience is huge and the pace is set by the news or the sport, not by the roadmap.
I started at Perform Group, putting live and on-demand sport onto publisher sites, smart TVs and consoles, the work that grew into DAZN. At BT I was Head of Product for BT Sport and BT TV online, where my team delivered £147m of value in four years. Then nearly six years as Head of Product at The Sun, where the product function grew threefold, we launched Sun Club and moved the whole site onto WordPress.
Right now I am a Product Consultant at PEI Group, working on Ask PEI, their AI tool, and on bringing their subscription products together into one experience.
What I am good at is people. Getting editors, commercial teams, engineers and execs to agree on what matters next, and then getting it shipped. I also like building things myself, which is what the rest of this site is for.

Where I have worked
The kinds of product I know well
Promptly Made
What this company is
Promptly Made Ltd is the limited company I contract through, and where I build my own products: two games on the App Store and Google Play, Pavilion for cricket clubs, and the product tools on the showcase. My day job is leading product.
Outside work
Cricket, mostly
I am Captain and a Trustee at Ealing Cricket Club in the Middlesex Premier League, and I represent the MCC. Running a volunteer club teaches you a lot about getting people to turn up for something.
