      Driving the full development and delivery of the OX Truck Cab, I lead a cross-functional team, managing risks and priorities; aligning our work with the broader OX Truck vision and strategic objectives. I oversee the backlog, make key decisions on feature prioritisation, and facilitate agile processes to keep the team focused and productive. While fostering collaboration and communication across teams, I also remain hands-on as an engineer, contributing to technical solutions that meet the unique demands of our market and customer needs. Additionally, I work to enhance the team’s growth and performance through strategic resource planning and continuous improvement, supporting both individual development and overall team success to consistently deliver top-tier results.
