Marissa Gorlick.

I've always been fascinated by how people make decisions. That curiosity first led me to study motivation and decision-making through a Ph.D. in Psychology (Cognitive Neuroscience) and a postdoctoral fellowship in Neuroeconomics. Today, it shapes how I build products.

Across TurboTax, Mozilla, Rill, Bazaarvoice, and CreativeLive, I've worked on problems where customer behavior, product strategy, and business goals intersect. Whether improving monetization, building trustworthy AI, growing open-source products, or scaling experimentation, my approach is the same: understand customers first, then build products and systems that help them succeed.

I enjoy solving ambiguous customer and business problems by combining customer discovery, experimentation, behavioral analytics, and AI to create products people value and businesses can grow.
