I’m Tom Puddifoot, a seasoned Product Technologist and Consultant with a track record of driving innovation and growth. Over the years, I’ve helped businesses - from startups to global enterprises -navigate the complex intersection of technology and strategy. My mission? To turn ambitious ideas into scalable, impactful solutions.
I believe in actionable strategies and measurable outcomes. Whether it’s defining product roadmaps, optimising business processes, or implementing scalable tech solutions, my focus is always on delivering lasting impact. Every project is a chance to transform challenges into opportunities and ideas into reality.
For me, great consulting is all about balance - between strategic vision and practical execution, innovation and compliance. I believe that solutions should not only solve immediate challenges but also drive long-term value. This philosophy guides everything I do, whether I’m shaping product strategies, optimising business processes, or leading technology transformations.
Problem-solving is at the heart of my work. I thrive on turning complex challenges into streamlined, impactful solutions. Each project is an opportunity to learn, innovate, and leave organisations stronger, more efficient, and more resilient.
