G'day. I'm Jamieson — most people call me Jamo. I'm a product leader with twenty-plus years building digital products at the intersection of commerce, content, and technology. I started in Sydney, did a long stint in London, spent a decade in Los Angeles, and now I'm in Calgary with my wife and three kids.
I've led product at TechStyle Fashion Group through the launch of Savage X Fenty and the scale-up of Fabletics, ran digital product at Warner Music Group, owned e-commerce at Live Nation and Ticketmaster, cut my teeth at AOL and ITV, and started my career writing specs at Hewlett-Packard. Today I'm CPTO at JRNYs Wellness — where we built and launched Kinsyn — and I run my own consulting practice, Nasty Tech, working with founder-led brands in health tech, e-commerce, and AI.
I'm hands-on. I write specs, review designs, push back on engineers when the timeline doesn't add up, and stay in the room until the thing ships. I'm not interested in strategy decks that gather dust on Dropbox. I want to build.
How I think about the work
I think great product leaders have the brain of an engineer, the heart of a designer, and the instincts of a founder. I've been all three at different points, and I bring all three to every team I've run. The best work happens when those three muscles are in the same room arguing — politely, but properly — about what to ship.
My bias is toward small, senior, lean teams that punch above their weight. I'd rather have five operators who've shipped before than fifty contractors who haven't. I'd rather kill a feature than apologize for one. I'd rather tell a CEO the timeline is unrealistic than miss it three months later in a board meeting. Honesty is a product feature.
And I'd rather build than talk about building. That's the whole job.
