MY ROLE​

 

Vonage acquired TokBox in 2018 during a season of acquisitions for the company. I came into Vonage as Design Director of UX Design and Research. My role was to co-lead a large global UX team across US, UK and Israel, collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Marketing, and support across all product lines. I defined a new design process with ongoing documentation that provided the necessary structure and efficiencies for a multi-timezone team to run efficiently.   

​

With multiple technologies coming together, it resulted in unique but intriguing challenges. I was responsible for defining Vonage’s PAAS/SAAS/API Product Design and UX Research strategy based on a deep concern for the user’s perspective. This led to delivering customer experiences that reduced churn and increased customer acquisition, retention, revenue, and LTV. 

 

I demonstrated customer centricity by introducing UX Research to the design process and partnering with other departments to create more OKR alignment. My team delivered insights that impacted 1M+ product users, including web/mobile apps, APIs, call centers, and VR/AR.  I managed the budget and tracked all research projects utilizing a variety of methodologies to ensure business goals were being met.  

​

​I built a bridge between Marketing and Product that promoted alignment and consistency in experience and brand. I provided art direction for both the rebrand and website redesign.
