Connect with David Glick, Chief Technology Officer at FLEXE

As CTO, David (Physics ‘92) is responsible for the design and development of the FLEXE technology platform. Before FLEXE, he spent nearly 20 years at Amazon, including five years as the VP of Fulfillment Technology, where he oversaw the development and functionality of the software within Amazon’s fulfillment centers, as well as the technology for Amazon's transportation systems for two of those years. David is also credited with helping build Amazon’s original automated pricing system.

If you are an LSA student interested in connecting with an experienced leader who successfully applied their LSA education to a robust career in technology, this session is for you. David will share information about his work at FLEXE, how his experience navigating failure can help students, and how being “customer obsessed” can serve students in their entrance into the workforce.
