I've worked across a range of company sizes including as a startup founder, big tech (Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn), startups (Weedmaps, Fyllo), and now leading product at a mid sized ecommerce company iHerb. I've been an individual contributor, mid-level manager, and an executive during these last 10 years that I've been in the tech. I also spent 10 years in consumer packaged goods before shifting my career.

Here’s what Merit users have said about Alex

Alex was so easy to talk to. It was nice to have just a casual and honest conversation about both our journeys in this weird world we call product management. He had so unique perspectives I am grateful to have heard and hopefully use going forward. Alex is definitely worth booking an appointment with if you are interested in product management.
