Top SchoolTom Gebauer is a hands-on product design executive with 11+ years of experience driving measurable business impact across media, advertising, and enterprise products. Currently SVP Design & Research at Dow Jones, he leads global design and research for flagship brands including The Wall Street Journal and Factiva, and has a track record of scaling teams to 30+ designers in matrixed organizations.
