Hey everyone, truly humbled to be joining this inspiring group!
๐Ÿ‘‹ Name: Alex Gerson
๐Ÿ“ Location: Pittsburgh, PA (recently relocated from NYC) - saw a few local folks in here, would love to meet up IRL!
๐Ÿ’ผ Current Role: Strategy at Thorne โ€” partnering with executive and functional teams to help shape strategy, develop initiatives, and support execution as the business grows.
Hobbies: Running, yoga, and spending time with my husband and kids
๐Ÿค Topics Youโ€™re Interested in Connecting About:
I love the pace and complexity of this category and enjoy conversations around consumer insights, brand strategy, efficient and effective scaling, and market moves like partnerships.
๐Ÿง  How You Can Help WGM:
I bring experience from large CPG and MedTech companies, including a management consulting background. Iโ€™ve spent much of my career helping teams bring clarity to strategy, goals, governance, reporting, and decision-making - backed by data, and communicating it upward and outward. Earlier on, I worked in R&D and Manufacturing, including on product portfolio optimization โ€” identifying the right SKUs to win and prioritizing the most impactful improvements. Always happy to be a thought partner or make introductions where helpful!
๐Ÿ™ How WGM Can Help You:
Iโ€™m looking forward to learning from operators in earlier stages of scaling โ€” whatโ€™s working, whatโ€™s challenging, and how teams are navigating growth - as well as from investors on what signals and proof points are most telling. Excited to connect, share perspectives, and learn alongside this group.
