I’m Sylvia, a product and analytics professional with a passion for using the intersection of data, engineering, and marketing to fuel business results. I’m formerly the GM of Shopify’s Start product line, where I tackled the problem of creating more entrepreneurs in the world through education, community, and tooling. Right now I’m building my own brand of cancer care boxes called Amidira (I’m a cancer survivor). Previously I was the VP of Product & Growth at 500px, one of the world’s largest photography platforms. I’ve held past roles at Google, eBay, OANDA, and ScribbleLive, and have a Masters in Predictive Analytics from Northwestern University.
This blog has been listed by Ty Magnin at Appcues as one of the 21 Best Growth Hacking Blogs to Follow and I’ve been named one of the Canadian 50 Inspiring Women in STEM.
