“My guess is that in the future, our marketplace is going to have an even bigger scale, but it will feel smaller to any individual because we'll be better at finding just those products that you're looking for and giving them to you when you need them.” On the latest episode of Building One, I talk with Nicholas Daniel, chief product officer at Etsy. In his 10+ years at the company, Nick has worked across every part of Etsy’s business — one that has grown to nearly seven million sellers providing millions of crafted goods to over 90 million customers. In my conversation with Nick, we discuss making the best of career challenges, how and why Etsy differentiates itself from other marketplaces and the limits of relying on product performance metrics. Check out the full episode to learn more insights from Nick on how he is using community engagement, data, and even AI to keep Etsy competitive within the super competitive market dynamics of e-commerce.
