Episode 123: Nitzan Shaer - Co-Founder and CEO at WEVO

Welcome to Episode 123 of The VentureFizz Podcast, the flagship podcast from the leading authority for jobs & careers in the tech industry. For this episode of our podcast, I interviewed Nitzan Shaer, Co-Founder and CEO at WEVO. Nitzan was early in the mobile world that we live in now. I’m talking about a pre-iPhone era, when he was part of the team that was figuring out early mobile strategy from Microsoft and Skype. He’s a serial entrepreneur and his latest startup is called WEVO. You might be familiar with A/B testing after your website is launched. Well, WEVO is taking a radically different approach by helping companies optimize your website before going live. It does this through artificial intelligence and a proprietary behavioral model which generates recommendations that have proven to significantly increase conversion. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of topics, like: -Nitzan’s background in terms of growing up in Israel what he learned from being a member of the Israeli Air Force. -His experience at Microsoft, which included an interesting story of a mobile strategy session at Bill Gates’ house. -His time at Skype where he helped the company launch the mobile version of their product. -All the details on WEVO, including what led them down the path of starting the compan and the value of their platform. -What makes a great product manager. -Advice for founders on starting a consulting firm. -And so much more.
