Hi, I’m Beth Lingard.

I help founders and product teams get clear on what to build and why — before they burn runway on the wrong thing.

I work with teams at inflection points, through research, workshops, and strategic advising that's useful, not just interesting.

My approach

My path to research ran through product management and agile delivery, which means I understand how decisions actually get made inside product orgs: the tradeoffs, the timelines, the internal debates that can stall a team for months. That foundation is what makes my approach different from a traditional researcher or consultant.

I've spent 20+ years across startups, consulting, and Meta, most recently as UX Research Director for Meta AI, helping teams make better decisions and move forward with confidence. Whether that's finding product-market fit, getting unstuck, or pressure-testing a narrative before you raise, the goal is always the same: clarity you can act on.
