Top SchoolBen Barden is a product manager with 11 years of technology experience, currently leading Kraken’s Water Journeys team to streamline complex utilities workflows like house moves, field appointments and large-scale data migrations. He blends a strong engineering background with product ops discipline, having introduced tooling and processes that recovered millions in payments and cut operational friction through automation.

He’s also a founder and builder of consumer-facing side projects (SwitchScores, Collaborama, ProTribe) that reveal a practical eye for discoverability, SEO and data-driven UX. Based in London, he pairs hands-on technical skills (API workshops, Postman testing, data modelling) with mentoring experience, having coached PMs and supported team transitions. Notably, he moves comfortably between strategic roadmaps and detailed wireframes, turning regulatory and integration complexity into clear, testable delivery plans.
