Summary
Adrian Howard is a coach and product practitioner with 17 years of experience helping teams navigate the messy overlap of strategy, user research, and delivery. Based in Dorchester, he founded Quietstars to run tactical workshops, team coaching, and flexible remote coaching that drive immediate, experiment-led improvements in product and process. Previously he coached product managers at ProdUX Labs and mentored at Google Launchpad and Lean Startup Machine, bringing a practitioner’s lens to agile transformations. His early career as a developer and technical director means he combines hands-on engineering fluency with product thinking, having cut release times from days to minutes through automation and process redesign. Adrian’s uncommon strength is translating high-level strategy into concrete, repeatable team practices that reduce dependency on external coaching. He holds a First Class degree in Computing & Artificial Intelligence from the University of Sussex.
