About Me

Hi, I’m Simone Barsky Nili 👋

I’m a Product Leader obsessed with finding new ways that technology can help us solve big life problems.

I’ve conceived and launched dozens of apps and services across web, mobile, connected TV and VR platforms for brands like CNN, Warner Bros., HGTV, Food Network, People, Sports Illustrated and AMC Networks.

I’ve also led groups of Product Managers, designers, mentees and cross-functional teams to bring beloved customer-facing products to millions.

In my spare time, you might find me baking a cake, playing with my dog Noodle, or indulging in another rewatch of Battlestar Galactica.
