From 2013 to January 2015 (2 years) San Francisco Bay AreaConsultant @ Helping companies design better user experiences ranging from big (Google) to medium (Kaboodle) to small (Minted). From 2011 to 2012 (1 year) San Francisco Bay AreaVP, Site Development @ Was one of Amazon/com’s earliest employees hired to “make the site interactive”. Went from working with one HTML developer and hiring the first QA person to running what became a department of over 200 front-end engineers, web developers, designers, editors and researchers responsible for the features and functionality of the website, and the overall online customer experience.
During this wonderful rocket-ship ride, the team I managed launched the music, video and toys stores and many more. We turned “launching” into a much easier, templatized process that could be done in a decentralized way throughout the company. Areas I managed included the home page, search, the order pipeline and online customer self-service, the personalization and community teams, our super-intense holiday launches, and many other aspects of the site.
I loved every minute, even working graveyard shifts in the warehouses over the holidays, noticing choices we made on the website impacted warehouse productivity and watching the orders fly off the shelves, and knowing we were making customers so happy.
