About

Senior Product & Transformation Executive

17+ years turning fragmented platforms and project-led organisations into high-performing, commercially-driven product engines — at genuine global scale.

Introduction

Gerard Short is a product and transformation executive with more than 17 years of experience leading enterprise-scale digital transformation across banking, payments, healthcare, retail, luxury commerce and travel.

He specialises in platform modernisation, product operating models and commercial growth — helping organisations move from fragmented, project-led delivery to unified product organisations aligned around customer outcomes and measurable commercial impact.

His work spans some of the most demanding environments in enterprise technology: unifying 71 markets on a single banking platform at HSBC, scaling the UK's national testing programme from 50,000 to over a million tests a day, and pioneering omnichannel luxury retail at Farfetch.
