Andrea Parodi is a growth-focused product and marketing leader with 11 years of experience scaling consumer apps and e-commerce businesses from early-stage experiments to multimillion-dollar revenue engines. Currently General Manager at Bending Spoons overseeing Eventbrite and Meetup, he previously led Growth for Splice, helping grow revenues from $35M to $75M+ through disciplined experimentation, influencer strategies, and data-driven funnel optimization. Trained as a computer engineer, he blends analytical rigor and hands-on front-end experience (open-source contributions include UI/UX fixes to the WMail desktop Gmail client) with deep expertise in paid channels, CRO, pricing and subscription models. He’s co-founded agencies and startups, mentors Silicon Valley study tours, and advises fast-growing teams on prioritization, hiring, and product-led growth. Passionate about the psychology of marketing and continuous learning, Andrea pairs a detail-oriented mindset with creative instincts—he also plays guitar and insists on daily sport to stay sharp. Based in Milan with extensive San Francisco experience, he’s equally comfortable leading cross-functional teams or rolling up his sleeves on tactical growth experiments.
