venn, Principal Product Manager
MemberI’m excited to lead consumer product at Resy — a mobile app that powers reservations at the world’s best restaurants. I joined the team because I’m super passionate about hospitality, and helping restaurants deliver amazing guest experiences. I believe the world is ready for a reservation app that cuts through the noise — making it possible to dine out at the best restaurants without having to scroll through an endless list of mediocre options. Prior to joining Resy, I had the privilege of being one of the first product managers to work on Guest Center, OpenTable's cloud-based reservation management system, and launched the product globally in February 2014. Later that year I led the marketing & development of OpenTable’s mobile payments solution, a ground-breaking innovation that made up the core of the company's mobile strategy. Between OpenTable and Resy, I spent 15 incredible months at i.am+, an AI and wearables company founded by pop-culture icon will.i.am. It was awesome working for such a creative force, and I learned so much from the experience. Specialties: B2B/B2C product management & marketing, go-to-market strategies, service design, agile product development, innovation, idea creation, messaging/positioning development, business strategy, pricing & promotions, acquisition & engagement marketing, quantitative customer research, qualitative customer insights, and strategic partnerships.
