Experience Snapshot
ANGLE plc
2012 – 2023
A liquid biopsy company. Its Parsortix platform captures intact circulating tumor cells from a routine tube of blood, so a lab can study them without a biopsy. Publicly traded, ran like a startup (~300 staff at peak). Renamed CelLBxHealth in 2025.

Wrote and reviewed product requirements for the first Parsortix prototypes, from the bench, before the company had product managers.
Ran voice of customer across all 150+ deployments and beta at selected sites, then turned what came back into product decisions: development-cycle time down 21%, service visits down 19%, service costs down 33%.
Drove a roadmap pivot on voice-of-customer risk-reduction data that cut the timeline to our first FDA submission, and fed the sales forecast by calling which evaluations would convert.
Built the sales enablement after clearance: FAQ, specialized training, and a case-management system that kept the field speaking with one voice.
Independent Work
2024 – Present
Self-directed product work, all of it public.
A
market research report on why blood-based cancer detection products stall before they reach the clinic, and
Blind Spot Revealer Cards, a deck that surfaces the assumptions a cross-functional team builds in without noticing. Plus a set of Obsidian plugins I design, build, and ship.
The Library · Personal Knowledge Management
2024 – Present
A 350-member paid community for people building personal knowledge management systems.
As fractional Community Manager I own the member journey: rebuilt onboarding as an automated flow, paid membership up 230%. I took it to build product-growth skills alongside a founder who cares deeply about what he is building.
