Brad Meinert

Summary

Full-stack product & growth builder: gets products live (PRD→design→eng→GTM), leads GTM & content operations end-to-end (strategy, production, distribution, governance, analytics), and grows them with experimentation, optimization, personalization, lifecycle/retention, pricing/packaging, and LTV-driven spend with clear attribution.

Impressive track record of growing both B2C & B2B companies.

Impact Snapshot

- 0→$50M marketplace in <24 months (CafePress); 20M+ users acquired (IMVU); $16M revenue + exit (TeloYears).

- Ship fast: PRD → design → build → launch → iterate across regulated and consumer stacks.

- Built an ABM→personalization loop (intent→LP variants→holdouts→lifecycle→attribution) that lifted LP CVR double-digits, sped demo→opp, and cut blended CAC across a 50/50 paid/organic B2B mix.

- Metrics-obsessed: CVR, CAC/LTV, payback, A1/A2 activation; weekly experiment cadence 3×.

Product Operator Snapshot

- Owner mentality: accountable for scope/date/quality; remove blockers; ship.

- End-to-end: PRD/MRD, UX, packaging/IFU (HIPAA/CLIA when applicable), website/app, analytics, launch ops.

- Cross-functional: eng, design, data, vendors, legal/compliance, labs, fulfillment.

- Evidence > opinion: instrument events, test variants, iterate roadmap.

- Outcomes: TTFV ↓, activation ↑, defects ↓, payback ↓.
