Top SchoolRichard Shepherd is a product leader with 15 years’ experience scaling consumer-facing platforms across e‑commerce, mobility and marketplaces, currently serving as VP Product at Lyst after senior product leadership roles at Just Eat Takeaway.com, carwow and VoucherCodes. He combines hands-on product craft—having begun as a frontend developer—with strategic global product delivery, launching major partner integrations (e.g., McDonald’s) and building teams and processes for fast-growth environments. Equally comfortable advising founders, he has worked as a product consultant at Motorway and led the end-to-end launch of Worka.com for IWG. A regular speaker and writer in the product community, he brings a pragmatic blend of technical empathy, commercial rigor and experience aligning product strategy to board-level objectives. An unexpected detail: he also serves as a school governor, applying governance and strategic oversight skills beyond the tech industry.
