Profile: https://flows.cv/marcmendell

I lead the strategic design vision, execution as well as the operational excellence of large, distributed and multidiscipline design teams. I focus on design outcomes that create clarity of purpose and can drive premium design and growth throughout the organization.

Over the last 30 years (20 in leadership), I’ve shaped and reinvented some of the world’s largest online entertainment, news, technology, and media platforms. At the core of my work is a belief in user-centered design: creating experiences that not only solve real problems but also unlock the full potential of interactive media.

I’m passionate about mentoring teams, inspiring around a shared vision, and fostering a culture where design is recognized as a strategic driver of customer engagement and business results. My track record includes growing design organizations, elevating visual and functional design quality, while fostering cross discipline partnerships.
