Zach West
Zero-to-One Leader: Marketing, Product & Strategy
I'm a former founder. I've helped companies like Stitch Fix, Walgreens & Lululemon build product and go-to-market strategies unique to their complex businesses. As a founder most recently I focused on the video game space using blockchain tech to empower high value players to get more out of games. As CEO I worked functionally as the Head of Product and Operations.
I'm open to fractional product, strategy and marketing roles.
