Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Wood is a product team lead and former director of product management with a strong foundation in data science and X‑ray crystallography, blending 15+ years of scientific research with nine years of product leadership. He has steered portfolio-wide transformations at CCDC—introducing quarterly releases, product telemetry with a 78% opt-in, and moving from part-time product owners to a focused professional product management team. Now leading product at Cambridge Intelligence, he coaches and scales product managers and designers while evolving product frameworks across the organisation. His background includes a PhD from Edinburgh and a prolific research record, with multiple peer‑reviewed publications and conference leadership that inform his evidence-driven approach to product decisions.

Based in Ely, UK, he combines scientific rigor, user-centred metrics, and hands-on operational change to deliver measurable product impact.
