Noam Lovinsky

Chief Product Officer at Grammarly. Previously an early product manager at YouTube (joined via acquisition, led creator and viewer product areas), CPO at Thumbtack (led the marketplace pivot from quote-based to instant booking and the recovery from negative year-over-year growth), and founder of the New Product Experimentation team at Facebook. Known for two unconventional career decisions: voluntarily recommending his own team be wound down in month three at YouTube, and asking to be organisationally layered under a peer for better support. Frames the NPE team at Facebook as primarily a mechanism for shining a mirror on organisational constraints rather than a startup factory. At Grammarly, argues that the product’s ambient deployment — meeting users across all applications without configuration — is the primary competitive moat.
