About | Nick Blackbourn

Hi, I’m Nick

I…

Like writing (Read posts on writing.)
Am a Business Transformation Manager at Paragon Products
Have a History PhD (Read my thesis.)
Am fascinated by how ideas spread; it’s how I got interested in product marketing and qualitative and quantitative data (Read posts on marketing.)
Read plenty of books on Product Management, Business Storytelling, and Agile Methods (Read my book recommendations)

What I do

I’m a ‘product’ person. I help organisations create products that deliver value to customers via amazing experiences, while contributing to growth objectives. It’s about helping them be more strategic with their products: positioning, roadmap, and resources all have to be planned in tandem to work effectively.

My key skills:

Product strategy
Product marketing
Financial modelling
Scrum methodology

Still scrolling? You want to know more about me?! Goodness me – send a message already my friend … But as you’re clearly keen:

When I’m not pounding away on a keyboard, you can find me sitting in Edinburgh coffee shops reading spy novels and sports biographies. At weekends, I roam Central Scotland, taking low-quality snaps as I go.

Also:

I run. Even when it’s raining.

I read. I try to get through 52 books a year.

I hike. My Fitbit likes big numbers.

I travel. I like going up tall buildings in unfamiliar places.
