Top SchoolMax Nussenbaum is a product-minded writer and operator with 11 years building and scaling digital products, most recently as Business & Product Writer at Stripe.

A former product manager and designer, he shipped mobile and web features that improved App Store ratings and user growth, and contributes front-end polish to notable open-source projects like Zulip. Max blends storytelling, product strategy, and founder-level grit to translate complex technical work into persuasive user-facing experiences.
