Gad Alon
I’ve spent the last 15 years helping businesses grow by operating at the intersection of product management, marketing growth, and data/analytics.
I’ve held leadership roles in both scrappy startups as well as in Google and Facebook, seeing what works (and what doesn’t) at each stage of growth.
I’ve led go-to-market in a company that was acquired by Google in 2013 (Adometry Inc.) and joined as a seed investor in a company sold to Google in 2018 (Invi Labs Inc.).
Since 2020 I’m leading marketing science & growth at Chewy, one of the fastest-growing e-commerce destinations in the US. Chewy went public in 2019 and grew to become a Fortune 500 company in mid-2021 and again in 2022.
