Strong network of industry connections
Whether you’re a founder, VC or in-house Head-of, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, diving into NPD. You know that successful product development and innovation are key to business growth. You also know that legal compliance and safety are crucial, that the commercial end-game is critical. The scale of the challenge, often across various aspects of a business, is enough to shut down even your most enticing gap in the market.
Having been on the front line with her own free-from brand, Pudology, Lucy knows full well how fear pushes you forward. Vitally, she also knows what to do and won’t just tell you – as a lifelong doer she’ll roll up her sleeves and get stuck in alongside you. Whether that’s up-skilling internal teams on product development processes, or stepping in as a fractional co-founder, Lucy earned her stripes across both corporate and start-up environments, from WHSmith and M&S to Oddbox
