My personal insight from a discussion with Don Lindsay - Grass Roots Quality

The other day (as in, February 8th, 2015) we had a visit by Don Lindsay at Wix. Don (who's rich history at Blackberry, Microsoft and Apple you can find in numerous places on the internet and hinted at his LinkedIn profile) was/is in Israel as part of keynoting at the UX Salon conference, and we took the opportunity to meet him. During a discussion, the issue of Quality was brought up, and we named some people who's "stamp of approval" for quality we trust - as if they are th

December 4th, 2014: Big Day! First "live" test of the New Wix Blog! [1 of 2]

What do you do at Wix? VP Product, with executive focus on Mobile Apps and mini-Editors (a-la Blog) What was the most "out of the box" (shoe salesman, window cleaner, drill sergeant, animal trainer, etc) job you've had? During the summer vacation (July) at the age of 10 (?), I delivered "breakfast groceries" to people's doorsteps before they wake up... I would wake up at 4am, get on a van, and travel amongst the rich-and-famous houses of a well-to-do neighborhood.I would ho
