At Outside, we believe in the transformative power of nature. Our mission is to get everyone outside. In a world where 4-7 minutes is the average time kids under 18 spend outside per day, it is more critical than ever. As VP of Product, I am working with an amazing team and building the daily destination for outdoor inspiration, activation, and reward. I am stoked to be on this adventure.
