Mitch Goldman

Hi! I'm Mitch Goldman, and I'm passionate about building great products and user experiences, while delivering on time & budget.

I have experience in a variety of domains: recommendations & personalisation systems, e-commerce on the Magento platform, and software test management. I'm also an avid a tech community organizer (RecSys Meetup, Magento Meetup, Communities of Practice) and presenter.

Some of my proudest career achievements are:

• At Sky, as product lead of several new recommendation features on SkyQ and NowTV: Personalised Genres, Because You Watched, Trending/Most Popular.
  
• At StoreGecko leading the product development from a prototype into a fully-featured, scalable, go-to-market product.
  
• At Made.com overseeing all changes to the e-commerce website, including the localisation of new websites to expand into Italy, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium.
  
• I grew the London Magento Users Group into a 1350+ and growing community, for which I produced events for networking, startup pitches, and hackathons.
  
• At Session Digital (Inviqa), I earned a bonus for building their Testing practice from scratch, including recruiting the right testers to embedding testing into their Agile development process.
  

In 2016 I published the e-book "The Ultimate Guide to Magento for Managers." I also do speaking engagements, and I'm available on topics ranging from e-commerce, product ownership, software testing, and Agile. My latest talk was in Oct 2016 at TeCOMM (Romania) titled “Jobs To Be Done in product data management.”
