Background

About Chris Washington

As a results-driven Senior Product Manager with a strong foundation in data-driven decision making, I’ve spent the past several years at OVO Energy leading high-impact product initiatives that have delivered measurable business value—including £12 million in annual cost savings and major gains in user productivity. My experience spans end-to-end product lifecycle management across web, mobile, and chatbot platforms, serving both internal users and external customers. Whether launching an MVP platform now handling monthly appointments, or navigating complex regulatory environments, I combine strategic planning with hands-on delivery to ensure products not only meet business objectives but also delight users. Prior to product management, I held leadership roles in science education and recruitment, and even completed officer training with the Royal Marines—experiences that sharpened my communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills in fast-paced environments. I’m passionate about building cross-functional alignment, mentoring teams, and using data to inform smart, customer-focused decisions. Outside of work, I enjoy running, climbing, martial arts, and exploring new cultures through travel.
