Fueling Creativity and Finding Inspiration Beyond Work

Beyond the boardrooms and product roadmaps, I find inspiration in stories—both real and fictional. Whether it’s exploring the worlds crafted by Tolkien or analyzing market trends through insightful non-fiction, I believe in the magic of curiosity.

And, of course, there’s always time for a Manchester United match—win or lose, although it’s mostly the latter!
