General manager with functional expertise in product management, software engineering, data science, and growth marketing. I’m passionate about consumer businesses, marketplaces, and about using AI to develop structural advantages. My tools of choice are:* Audacious creativity: set up an environment that allows each contributor to take risks and try new directions. Cherish the growth mindset and maximize the velocity of learning.* Data-driven experimentation: instead of getting stuck in a gridlock of debate, identify core assumptions behind each idea and validate them quickly and cheaply, and then double down on a promising direction. * Investing in people: I believe in autonomy, mastery, and purpose as a framework to motivate and develop my team (http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation). Grow leaders from within. My specialty is jumping from marketing to product management to data science, discussing business model tradeoffs one day, giving feedback on UX flows the next day, and diving into API design the next. Even though most of my time is spent with the senior team nowadays, I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty: debug code, build an Excel model, or get on the phone and sell a partner on an idea.I'm an inventor of 16 technology patents in artificial intelligence, personalization, computer vision, data visualization, and data-driven publishing.Email: alex94040@gmail.com
