Global Investment Fund

A proprietary platform for portfolio construction, trading, research, and account servicing—many modules, unified by one experience vision.

Role: Product Experience Lead

The Situation

The internal digital platform had evolved into a collection of specialized modules. Product, Technology, Research, and advisor-facing teams lacked a shared definition of what “good” looked like. Legacy constraints were real, and the current state was documented only in fragments. The future state remained an argument waiting to happen.

How I Worked

  • Framed a cohesive experience vision across fragmented platform modules.
  • Aligned Product, Technology, Research, and advisor-facing teams around a shared MVP and North Star.
  • Analyzed legacy system constraints and documented the current state with enough honesty to be useful.
  • Defined a future-state experience strategy the organization could sequence, not just admire.

What Followed

The work gave a complex internal platform a unified experience narrative, the foundation for future conversations about features, AI, and modernization.
