Welcome to my jungle
Katie Tucker is an inspirational product leader with over twelve years’ experience in leading teams and delivering stand-out digital products and services. She is also a writer, author of the Amazon bestselling book Do Penguins Eat Peaches? and a speaker.
In 2020, she set-up Product Jungle. A boutique consultancy with bite - using tools and hacks from the world of big tech to help small businesses and social enterprises embrace customer problems and build products and services that sell.
After starting her career in the fast-paced world of commodity markets, working her way up from business reporter to managing editor and overseeing the daily product and digital delivery of ten B2B publications, she worked for a successful FTSE 100 company for over ten years, inspiring teams, setting product strategies and delivering transformational digital products with a clear focus on user needs.
In 2018, she made the bold move to quit the corporate 9-5 to travel the world for ten months with her family, a life-changing experience which led to renewed sense of purpose. Product Jungle was born out of a passion of demystifying big tech practices.
A journalism graduate with an MA in Information and Communications Sciences and a bilingual post grad at the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris, Katie has written and spoken on topics including business, family travel and education appearing in The Times, The Independent, Motherdom, Living France, BBC Radio (You and Yours) and TV (Working Lunch), Manchester Evening news and more.
She loves swimming, travel and flat whites and lives in London with her partner, two kids and their dog Thunder.
