Emrah Dokur

I'm a results-oriented Product Manager with 17 years of experience leading product, strategy, development, and go-to-market execution across energy, EV charging, technology, and consumer products. I specialise in building and scaling hardware, software, and firmware-enabled products, translating customer and market insights into clear roadmaps, and delivering end-to-end product lifecycle ownership. 

Core strengths include: 

• Product strategy & roadmap definition 

• Cross-functional leadership (engineering, firmware, operations, sales) 

• Go-to-market strategy, launches, and market positioning 

• Stakeholder management, supplier engagement, and regulatory compliance. 

I’ve led product launches that achieved up to 37% market share, expanded into 12 international markets, and delivered £M-level revenue growth. 

I am currently exploring product management/product leadership roles where I can drive scalable, high-impact products in consumer, energy, mobility, or complex technical environments.
