Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolScott Colfer is a strategic product and transformation leader with 10 years' experience driving digital change across UK government and financial services, now directing proposition and client outcomes at Herd Consulting. He specialises in introducing product ways of working, building long-lived in-house teams, and establishing portfolio-level governance—work that has included creating the first cross-group visualisation of 60+ products across the Justice Digital Group. Scott combines hands-on delivery (cloud-first platforms, major hosting cost reductions, and migration programmes) with people-centred leadership, having grown professions from scratch and improved recruitment and retention. He has repeatedly translated social-purpose projects into scalable services—from youth empowerment and charity skunkworks to national-level public services—and brings a rare mix of policy, product and operational experience. Based in London, he pairs an English and critical theory academic background with formal training in product management and coaching, and is known for pragmatic, compassionate change leadership. An under-the-radar strength is his talent for turning complex stakeholder and portfolio trade-offs into clear go/don't-go decisions that materially improve value and user experience.
