London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorJamie Kirkpatrick is a founder and principal consultant with over two decades in tech and 14 years of senior leadership experience helping organisations stabilise operations, optimise teams, and ship high-impact products. He has led R&D and product organisations at scale—most recently as SVP of R&D and previously across multiple senior roles at Spotify where he bridged research and production for machine learning and platform SDKs. Jamie specialises in short-term, high-stakes interventions: technical and team health assessments, interim leadership, and executive recruitment support that produce measurable outcomes. He combines hands-on engineering roots (C++/Objective-C background and client-side work) with strategic product leadership across consumer and enterprise platforms. Based in London, he now focuses on pragmatic, flexible consulting engagements that rapidly restore momentum and leave teams better set up for sustained success. An understated detail: his public code presence moved off GitHub to GitLab, reflecting a deliberate shift in where he collaborates.
