Introducing Tim Doughty Our New Lead Product Owner
As WeBuild-AI continues its exciting growth, we're delighted to welcome Tim Doughty as our new Product Lead. Tim joins us at a pivotal moment in our journey, as we scale our team of AI innovators to meet growing demand from our customers. We sat down with Tim to discuss his vision for product and development at WeBuild-AI, his passion for building high-performing teams, and what attracted him to join our AI-native business.
Q: Tim, welcome to WeBuild-AI! What inspired you to take on this role?
Thank you! What really drew me to WeBuild-AI was the opportunity to join at a pivotal moment in which I can help shape the direction of the business, bring a fresh product mindset and contribute meaningfully to its growth. I’ve always been passionate about working with high-potential, mission-driven teams, especially ones that support ambitious and innovative companies. The idea of building better products with AI at the core, not just as a feature, but as a foundational capability, aligns perfectly with where I believe the industry is heading and where I want to develop further as a product leader.
Q: How do you see your role contributing to WeBuild-AI's mission?
WeBuild-AI’s mission to help founders, enterprises and ambitious teams build impactful AI-native products really resonates with me. I see my role as helping connect that mission to outcomes, ensuring we not only build the right things, but build them in the right way. I bring a product-first lens to everything I do and I’m excited to work closely with clients to deeply understand their users, goals and challenges. Ultimately, I want to make sure our teams are empowered to deliver products that are not just technically sound but commercially viable and genuinely valuable.
Q: What excites you most about building the team at WeBuild-AI?
There’s huge potential here to build a truly world-class product and delivery culture. One that’s collaborative, creative, and fast-moving. I’m particularly excited about the chance to grow a multidisciplinary team that blends technical talent with sharp product thinking. It’s a rare opportunity to help define how we work, how we scale and how we support both our clients and each other. That blend of structure and flexibility, alongside the ability to bring entrepreneurial energy by challenging the status quo into our everyday work, is exactly the kind of environment where I thrive.
Q: How will you leverage your transferable skills while developing in new areas?
Coming from a product background where I’ve worked across both fast-paced startups and more structured corporate environments, I bring strong experience in shaping product strategies, managing cross-functional teams and aligning tech with commercial outcomes. At the same time, I see this as a huge opportunity to stretch into areas like AI product design and scaling service models. I’m constantly learning, and I see WeBuild-AI as the perfect place to sharpen my impact especially at the intersection of emerging technology and user-centric design.
Q: What are your priorities as you get started in this role?
My first priority is to listen and learn from the team, our clients and the market. I want to understand what’s working, where the gaps are, and where I can make the biggest impact. From there, I’m focused on driving clarity around our product processes, ensuring our delivery model supports high-quality outcomes and helping us build scalable, repeatable ways of working. I also want to start identifying areas where we can be more proactive spotting opportunities for our clients before they ask and shaping value-led solutions from day one.
Q: What would you say to someone considering a career at WeBuild-AI?
If you’re entrepreneurial, curious, and passionate about building great products, especially in the AI space then WeBuild-AI is an amazing place to be. It’s fast-moving, collaborative and full of possibility and you’ll be given real ownership with the chance to work on meaningful challenges. There’s also a supportive team that values ambition and experimentation. It’s still early days in many ways, which means there’s a genuine opportunity to shape how we grow and to put your own stamp on the company’s direction.
