Andres Glusman

“Dre is a product and business leader I'd always want on my team. I've seen him be a strong leader for cross-functional product/engineering/design teams, balancing direction and empowerment so well, and leading his teams to consistently be one of the highest performing at the company. I also saw Dre grow a business from nothing using a strategic balance of lean practices, quantitative and qualitative data, and deep understanding of his business domain. If I was looking for a strong leader to help me grow a business and team, Dre would be at the top of my list.”

“Dre's mentorship was invaluable to me when I first started at Meetup. He was a senior leader that gave me time and advice while I built my own team, communicated our vision and navigated personalities & politics in the early days. I'll always be grateful for his advice - Dre didn't have to do any of those things, he was just being helpful without any clear benefit to himself - I'll always appreciate that and try to emulate going forward in my own career.”

“Andres is an amazing leader who inspires and pushes his team to be the best they can be. He's extremely collaborative, analytical, solution-driven, and has an incredible ability to distill complex topics into simple, digestible points. He's also very passionate about his work and cares deeply about his team members' development. Anyone would be lucky to work with him.”

“One of the first roles I filled at Meetup, was the Senior Manager of Marketing for a new business unit called Meetups @ WeWork. I had the pleasure of working with Dre to place this strategic hire. His high energy and willingness to do anything to find the right person was a welcome change. Often times, hiring managers view recruiters as order takers. Dre approached this hire with so much enthusiasm, he changed my expectation and approach to recruitment. We were truly business partners and were in lock step while sourcing, outreaching and attracting talent. His response time was incredible, to the point where I was working after hours just to keep up with his work pace. I truly enjoyed our working relationship which eventually lead us to hiring a strong Manager. I wish every hiring manager took the ownership to seek talent the way he does!”

“Among many things, Andres taught me to challenge my assumptions and test, test, test. These lessons made me a better thinker, and I’ll take them with me forever. I'm thankful for his partnership during the past 2.5 years. I hope we’ll get to work together again.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Andres to integrate customer research into Meetup's product development process. Andres' focus on excellence impressed me as did his questions on how to streamline every aspect of the program to get customer feedback in an ongoing and more-frequent way. He pushed my thinking, creativity and innovation in the same way he did with all his teams at Meetup. One of Andres' key strengths is his ability to evaluate a problem from many angles in a strategic AND practical way and then implement solutions quickly. ”

“I was extremely lucky to have been managed by Dre. His relentless optimism is infectious and something I work very hard to emulate. He is a natural leader who leverages his ability to deeply understand and communicate problems in order to move people to action while maximizing impact by tackling the riskiest assumptions and experimenting toward solutions. He is also a thoughtful mentor who took the time to work with me to track, measure, and provide pointed feedback to fuel my growth. Any organizational would be lucky to have him and the positive impact he delivers. ”

“Andres has a great ability to break big concepts down into incremental actions that get results. He's king of anyalisis and can run circles around complex spreadsheets. It was a great pleasure to interact with Andres and hope to do so again soon.”
