I build products, and lead the teams that deliver them.

Nearly two decades working across product strategy, engineering and delivery. From complex enterprise programmes to products I've built from the ground up.

Name the problem worth solving.

I start with the customer, the constraint, and the decision that shapes the first version.

Strategy and build stay together.

Product decisions, engineering, and delivery happen in one loop. I stay with the team through the work.

Then it has to work in their hands.

From enterprise programmes to products built from the ground up. The measure is what shipped.

About

Portrait of Zayne Nair
Zayne NairDubai, UAE

I'm Zayne Nair, based in Dubai. I've spent nearly two decades as a Head of Product and delivery lead, shipping platforms at scale and building products from the ground up. Today most of my time goes into writing product code, shaping models and data flows, and getting releases out the door.

How I work

I start from discovery and the real constraints (users, risk, timeline, and stack), then turn that into a thin roadmap with clear cuts: what ships first, what we learn from it, and what we defer. From there I stay hands-on through delivery: specs, build, reviews, and iteration until the outcome is live and measurable.

ROQ CX

I also run ROQ CX, a studio that ships fixed-fee product sprints for SMEs: prototype, build, and market launch. Recent client ship: Let's Talk Early Years, with Contentful, YouTube, and Stripe ticketing. Day rate and retainer are with me. A team sprint is ROQ CX.

What I'm building now

  • WeNanny

    Marketplace for families and nannies with semantic matching, plus a martech blog generator that drafts from Search Console demand and existing articles on Supabase Edge Functions.

  • Syntheve

    AI-assisted CV and career documents with structured drafts users can edit and own.

Where I've been

  • Deloitte

    Large-scale delivery and stakeholder complexity across digital programmes, including Clicks Pharmacy.

  • Nodes

    Agency-side product and technology leadership for clients in the UAE and Europe.

  • Customer Experience Group

    Product and build for experience and engagement platforms.
