Hi! I'm Emmy.

I'm a product and operations leader with 20 years of experience building high-performing teams and meaningful digital platforms.

I've been told I'm skilled at orchestrating the impossible — but really, I create the conditions for the improbable to take shape by clarifying vision, removing friction, and building momentum. I help teams hum like a well-oiled machine, balancing rigor and joy, strategy and execution. My leadership style is open, thoughtful, and allergic to useless BS.

Emmy Yardley - Product Leader

Let's Work Together

I'm open to hearing from companies building products I can believe in — especially those that bring joy, creativity, or meaningful utility into people's lives.

What I'm looking for:

  • A role where I can shape both product and culture.
  • A remote-friendly team that values clear thinking, smart collaboration, and honest communication.
  • A product with a proven business model, poised for thoughtful growth or evolution.
  • A team that's low on ego, high on curiosity.

What I'm not looking for:

  • Toxic culture disguised as "high performance."
  • Silos, politics, or a lack of clarity on how product contributes to the business.
  • Teams who don't value product leadership or don't know what to do with it.

If you think we'd work well together, reach out. I'd love to hear what you're building and why it matters.

P.S. I've always dreamed of working with Lego or Nintendo — if that's you, definitely say hi.
