CRW Burgess| Product Leadership
for Emerging Technology

About Me

Hi, I’m Chris Burgess, a product leader specialising in emerging technology.

For more than 14 years I’ve helped teams turn advanced tech into usable, scalable products across immersive tech, AI and human-computer interaction.

Technology is constantly changing and I love working with teams who are defining, building and shaping what comes next.

What I Do

I drive high impact without the full-time cost. I give you the right expertise, processes, and leadership to quickly unlock sustainable growth.

Many emerging tech companies need product leadership to scale their business, but they don't have the budget for a full time hire.

I embed within your team to help clarify strategy, align execution and build momentum, at the fraction of the cost.

After a short discovery call, Chris quickly understood our business and delivered a clear, actionable report. His process helped us sharpen our positioning, focus on what really matters, and see the connection between product and marketing from a fresh perspective. Working with Chris was genuinely insightful, and I look forward to continuing the collaboration.
