Nickey Skarstad
Director of Product Management @ Duolingo
Today I’m a Director of Product Management at Duolingo, where I’m responsible for shipping 0-1 products that impact millions of learners across the globe. With over a decade of experience building at some of the world's most beloved brands, including Etsy, Airbnb, and Shopify, I’ve honed my product sense to a fine art.
On the early team at Etsy I helped power seller businesses with meaningful tools. And on the early team working on Airbnb Experiences, I helped the team find product market fit and scale the business. Tricky product problems are my jam, and my product sense has helped me navigate complex challenges time and time again.
I love teaching product people how to refine their craft and think that product sense is a foundational skill that takes practice to refine. Join and practice with me!
