Working to level the empathy playing field.

Returned to help a small team reimagine how Meetup organizers manage events.

• Part of an intrapreneurial team that launched a product to flip our business model:
• Built an online marketplace from scratch, including discovery, checkout, emails, etc.
• Ate a lot of dog food (attended & hosted to understand both sides of the marketplace).
• Co-wrote the team's mission, vision, and value proposition, and also the company's values.
• Helped build the engineering team and define its processes.

• Part of an intrapreneurial team that launched a mobile app to explore a new way of meeting up:
• Pitched a pivot that produced hockey-stick improvement in our (small) numbers.
• Built a prototype overnight to demo a new feature to a critical stakeholder.
• Ate a lot of dog food (attended & hosted to understand the guest and host experience).

New York, NY

• Helped pivot OpenSky from a fully-curated marketplace selling celebrity-endorsed goods to a self-service sales platform for SMBs:
• Built tools for SMBs to manage their online retail presence (inventory, pricing, sales).
• Built discovery features (filtering, social sharing, cross-promotion on Sears.com).
• Pitched and built User Shopping Guides, an experiment in using UGC to drive discovery.
