About Me

Hello! I’m Alex Chiocchi, a product management expert with a passion for building innovative digital products and enhancing user experiences. Currently residing in the Los Angeles & the SF Bay Area.

My career has been a dynamic blend of leadership and innovation. As the Chief Product Officer & Advisor to Founders at NEAR Protocol, I played a pivotal role in establishing UX design, product, and analytics disciplines, significantly growing the user base and market cap of the platform. My tenure at Kraken Digital Asset Exchange as Vice President of Product Management saw me lead a large R&D team and establish multiple successful business lines.

The journey began at LinkedIn, where I grew from a Web Developer and Sales Market Analyst to a Lead Product Manager, significantly contributing to the company’s revenue growth and product development. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to found Kettle.ai, which was later acquired, showcasing my ability to transform vision into reality.

I hold dual degrees in Philosophy and Political Science from the University of California, Davis, graduating with honors. My education, emphasizing logic systems, has been a cornerstone in my approach to product management and innovation.

I am known for my strategic thinking and ability to spearhead projects that drive growth and user engagement. My expertise is backed by several patents in the tech field, including innovations in conversational search and network communications.

Beyond the professional realm, I believe in balancing deep work with fun, by playing with my dog, cooking, exercising, and the occasional video game! A philosophy that also guides my approach to team and product management.
