Investment Fund Internal Platform

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

My role: Product Experience Lead

The Core Challenge

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.

My Approach

  • 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.

The Measured Outcome

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