Chinedu Okeke
Hey there! I'm Chinedu (chee-nay-doo), a Product Manager based in the UK.
I enjoy solving complex product problems, particularly those involving platforms, enterprise software and the systems that help teams build better products – whether that's helping data engineers deliver business-ready data faster at Matillion, joining Risevest as its first Product Manager to help scale a digital investment platform or designing application frameworks at Anaplan. You can check out more about my work here.
On a lighter note, I often tell anyone who will listen that if I had stuck with football – the one Americans call soccer – I would have easily cracked the Ballon d'Or top 10 list back in 2011. So, it's only right I spend my Friday and Saturday evenings playing the beautiful game. Whether that's to stay fit or fondly remember missed glory... well, that remains a mystery.

The Cost of Assuming Context in Platform Design
Why powerful platforms must guide, not just enable — and how assuming context introduces a subtle risk in the product experience.
