Cut through the hype. Focus on what matters.

I’m Stuart Winter-Tear - strategist, product leader, writer, and advisor.

I work with executives and boards to make sense of AI without the noise.

I’ve spent my career at the intersection of product and technology, leading teams, building strategy, and asking the question too many skip: what actually changes the ledger?

‍That question powers everything I do now.

Why Unhyped?

‍AI is loud. Consultants promise the moon. Demos sparkle. Pilots stall. Value disappears.

Unhyped is the counterweight.

- Clear language over theatre.
- Outcomes over activity.
- Decisions that hold up once the applause fades.

It’s not anti-AI. It’s pro-results.

What I do:
‍
‍Advisory → Helping leaders cut through noise and focus on ROI.
‍
‍Workshops & Briefings → High-impact sessions for teams, boards, and executives.
‍
‍Fractional CPO → Hands-on product leadership when clarity and traction matter.
‍
‍Writing & Speaking → Unhyped AI on Substack, the Unhype AI Podcast with Vin Vashishta, and keynotes.

A bit more human:

‍I challenge assumptions and look for clarity others miss. I believe synthesis is the real edge - making sense of the complex, fast enough to matter.

50,000+ people follow my work on LinkedIn, where I mix philosophy, product, and AI strategy with a dose of humour.

I live in the UK, work globally, and prefer clarity to jargon every single time.
