Web3 Product Guy
Hello, I'm Ollie
I have a passion for Web3 tech and a history of getting excited, getting involved and getting things done. My journey started in SaaS 15+ years ago, led to building FinTech platforms, Web2 Payments, then I drank the Web3 kool-aid back in 2016:
- Advising the founders of SocialFi project Panjea from concept to MainNet launch
- Leading Platform and Staking for layer-2 custodian Qredo
- Guiding early stage DeFi portfolio manager Thane as they seek product-market fit
- The crypto winter led to Consulting via 101 Ways (currently Dev Tooling PM for M&S), but Web3 is calling me back
I love the buzz of new ideas and the thrill of getting things done quickly. My approach is to discover problems worth solving, identify greatest value, then deliver. I’m looking to do my part to finish the internet and I’d love to work together on it.

Testimonials
Here are what a few of my former colleagues have to say.
“When Ollie joined Qredo, taking on our pre-existing re-platforming project, things started to make sense. The structure, organisation, insight and humility that he brought to the table was very much appreciated and without his guiding hand, I don’t believe that V2 of our product would have ever seen the light of day.”
“I like to think I know what a good product manager looks like. Oliver is a great product manager. He is able to balance the strategic imperatives of the company with the detailed minutiae of the product. Oliver’s style is inclusive, respectful but decisive. He understands that the greatest skill of the best product managers is the ability to communicate – and he does this consummately well.”
“Oliver is one of the few Product Managers I’ve met that really get platforms and the multiplicative value they offer. The thing I enjoyed most about working with Oliver was his passion, enthusiasm and energy. Like the best Engineers, Oliver just likes to build cool things.”
“Working with Oliver was a pleasure, always happy to discuss the rationale for any proposal and take your opinion into account. The QA team were able to produce high quality tests because Oliver was able to create high quality tickets and was happy to clarify where we were unsure of what the requirement was in real time, often under great commercial pressure. Recommended.”
