Matthew Gossage

Matthew is the Engineering Manager at CROmetrics and has been writing code in one form or another since his early adolescence. What started as a hobby grew into a career as he now spends his days doing front-end development.

He finds great enjoyment in the particular challenges found in A/B test implementation, preferring the ‘front-end hacking’ work to standard front-end web development.

Matthew loves a good laugh and can often be found chasing :derp: emojis around CROmetrics slack channels. Connect with Matthew

Aaron Schwartz

Aaron started cultivating his product management skills during the founding of Mountain Labs, a healthcare information management company. While leading their marketing efforts, he managed multiple user analytics platforms, oversaw hundreds of user interviews, implemented thousands of website iterations, and managed the company’s presence across five different marketing channels. After the company’s closing in 2016, Aaron was well prepared to contribute to the testing and optimization culture at CROmetrics.

Though he was born and raised in Michigan, Aaron hasn’t let that stop him from exploring the world. He has lived in six different states, and has traveled to over thirty countries. In his evenings and off days, Aaron can be found in the kitchen, on a mountain, or on a motorcycle. Connect with Aaron

Danielle Maddox

Another pm with a background in film, Danielle has always preferred to blend art and tech rather than pursue either exclusively. This passion for connecting creative and technical ideas led to a natural progression from producing to Product Management.

She loves the challenge of formulating a growth strategy, creatively mixing ideas from experience and tried and true data analysis. Even more, Danielle loves seeing the outcomes of an A/B test and taking the resulting knowledge forward to further improve a customer’s experience. One could say she is addicted to learning.

When not at her computer, Danielle is likely spending time with family and friends, experimenting in the kitchen or binging on HBO. Connect with Danielle

Eddie Solis

Eddie first started showing an interest in Marketing after joining an early-stage Saas business as the Director of Customer Experience. It was during this time that he began to really understand how a user’s experience could really make an impact on a company’s marketing efforts. The venture was a member of the 500 Startups accelerator program based in Silicon Valley, and was later acquired in Spring 2015.

When Eddie isn’t working alongside his clients, he enjoys strumming his guitar and frequently performs around his current home in Austin, TX.

Eddie holds an MBA from Belmont University in Nashville, TN. Connect with Eddie

Erika Gebow

After spending the early part of her career building large-scale operational programs for Starbucks retail stores, Erika moved her passion for optimizing customer experiences into software product management for online retail and eCommerce. Erika credits her time at Amazon as the most impactful in her career, where she spent two years leading a company-wide customer experience program, and three years using data to reinvent the online post-purchase experience into a revenue-driving, contact-reducing behemoth.

Erika relocated from Seattle to Bend, OR with her husband and two dogs. In her free time you can find her running trails, climbing big mountains, cross-country skiing, mountain biking and drinking local beers. She volunteers as a board member with the local Humane Society, who coaches her that training is a critical component to dog ownership. Connect with Erika

Jamie Steiner

Jamie came to product management and site optimization through her experience as a web analyst at Angie’s List and a regional appliance retailer. Even though she has a strong analytical background, she finds the behavior of users fascinating! She believes that the intersection of psychology and analytics are where the best solutions are found. Tests that perform in an unexpected manner end up being her favorites because of the learnings they bring. There are no losing tests, only winners and learners!

When not working, Jamie enjoys spending time with her niece, singing and playing music at her church, and traveling around the world. Connect with Jamie

Jerome Choo

As far as he can remember, Jerome has always had a burning curiosity to figure out how things work. Naturally, he entered the field of engineering to satiate this curiosity and graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. Soon after he co-founded an education technology startup that provides specialized tools for reading teachers.

More recently, Jerome has been developing an interest in the psychology behind the user experience and ultimately, the buying experience of products. He joined CROmetrics for this reason, helping the engineering team with implementation and product management.

Jerome is based out of Austin, Texas. He enjoys traveling and exploring new hobbies that he might or might not be terrible at. Connect with Jerome

Vivian deBrauwere

Viv went to film school, but in the middle of the writer’s strike, she decided to find work in a stable industry. Viv landed a job at Sony and launched the PlayStation Network and developed their Dynamic theme program. Viv then took her talents to Netflix and played a key role in the launch of the Darwin UI and led a program that became a personalized artwork algorithm. Viv relocated to Chicago to join Trunk Club and helped develop a women’s service, overhauled the website and brought countless marketing initiatives to life via project managing the in house creative team.

Eric Newland

Eric’s background as a designer has taken a back seat since he discovered a love of code and problem-solving. A/B testing doesn’t just happen and is often a lot more complex than changing text or colors, so Eric uses his Javascript and CSS expertise to implement difficult tests and create custom goals for data collection. Whether it’s tweaking a sales funnel full of modal forms, adding a completely new plugin to the site, or redesigning a page from header to footer, Eric specializes at making sure CROmetrics’ tests just work.

Eric has a BA and 10 years’ experience in graphic and web design and development. He lives in Dayton, Ohio with his wife and two children. Connect with Eric

Jared Schoen

Jared grew up with computers as a kid and developed a love for technology early on. What started with DOS and floppy disks, led to a programming class in high school, turned into a website on Geocities and CSS hacks on MySpace, resulting in a web design class at UT, and culminating in freelancing as a web developer. Now Jared is excited to apply his background to problem solving for A/B testing and get some quality time with the command line again.
