Peter Merholz
VP Design at Snagajob
Peter is an experience design and product management executive with 20 years experience across a broad range of digital media. Prior to Snagajob, he was Sr. Director of Design at Jawbone, inventing the future through wearables and Internet of Things.
In 2001, he co-founded Adaptive Path, perhaps the world's premier firm dedicated to user experience. He’s been instrumental in its growth from a small boutique firm to an international consultancy, with offices in San Francisco, Austin, and Amsterdam.
