Alex Mitchell
I am passionate about creating and growing powerful web and mobile products that make a significant impact in millions of people's lives. I enjoy building and managing the product and development teams that help achieve that goal.
Currently, I work for Vistaprint as the Head of Websites and Identity Products (also includes Domains and Email Hosting). In this role, I manage 3 Agile development teams across 3 different locations (DC, Boston, Tunisia), totaling 15 developers. I manage 2 of these teams directly and manage a PM who works with the 3rd.

Vistaprint Website Builder "Tower"
Vistaprint Website Builder "Tower"
Product Lead on Vistaprint's latest website builder, code named "Tower". While managing this product, I increased NPS by 40 points, publish rate by 30%, and decreased first month churn by 20% with the help of my team.
We launched this builder to 100% in US, UK, and CA in late September 2016 and conducted a multi-channel marketing campaign in October 2016. Since then, we've focused on further improving churn, integrating the product more deeply with the print side of the business, and releasing to more locales.
