Jarryd Hennequin

I lead product strategy, design and AI product work, with 12 years across financial services, healthcare, energy, and government.

I work at the layer above delivery: finding the opportunities worth pursuing, deciding what gets built and in what order, and guiding product managers, designers, and engineers to a shipped outcome. I stay hands-on throughout, so decisions get tested against something real rather than argued over in a deck.

About

I've spent twelve years across product, design, and strategy, from global consultancies like Accenture and Cognizant to high-growth startups building from zero to one. Most of it in regulated industries, where the hard part is rarely the interface. It's deciding what to build.

I work at the layer above delivery. Finding the opportunities worth pursuing, framing them so a team can act, prioritising them against value and risk, then guiding product managers, designers, and engineers to a released outcome. Much of that is facilitation. AI has made generating options cheap, which makes deciding the bottleneck, and deciding well is what I'm hired for.

Recently that has meant AI product work: running use case discovery, validation, and pricing for a healthcare technology group, designing clinical AI systems that went to production, and leading the service design layer of a scams and complaints program at the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. I also prototype and build with AI tools like Claude Code, which puts a working product in front of stakeholders in days instead of weeks.

Based in Melbourne.
