Allow me to introduce myself...
Hi everyone!
My name is Alex Berg and I'm the new product guy at Bonanzle. Yesterday was my first day.
W
hat does a product guy (or gal) do? I'll be working with Bill and Mark on product strategy, design, and usability. That's a fancy way of saying that I want to make Bonanzle easier to use and more compelling for buyers. My number one goal is getting all of you more sales; to do that I'll be heading up a lot of site changes over the next month and beyond. I don't want to change the heart and soul of Bonanzle, as that would be bonkers crazy, but I'm confident we can make great strides by testing new features, layouts, and creative ways to merchandise your amazing products. My pledge to you is to let you know what we are doing and why. Well be doing lots of testing of different versions of the site and relying on data to make smart decisions.
A little about me: I’m the resident ‘old guy’ at Bonanzle. I got my internet start managing nba.com and then managed the user experience at Blue Nile - the largest online retailer of diamonds and jewelry. After Blue Nile I worked as Creative Director for Expedia and most recently managed product development for a company called Wetpaint. To say I love Internet startups would be an understatement. ; )
I live in West Seattle and have a needy lab and shepherd mix (we prefer to call him a ‘leopard’ rather than a mutt) named Cooper. I love soccer, historical biographies, and James Bond movies. I just bought my first Bonanzle item last night - a James Bond movie poster for the new office. Oh yes, and I am incredibly excited about joining Bonanzle!
Upward and onward! You'll hear more from me soon.
- Alex

Nutzy welcomes you to Bonanzle! Nice to meet you
Welcome Alex sure Glad you joined us!
Love your “leopard” Cooper
Hiya Alex! Welcome aboard ~ we’re very happy that you decided to join the team!!
Cute pup!! I also have a pair of sisters who are Lab/Shepherd with some Rottweiler and we think possibly some Doberman mixed in; it’s quite a potpourri ~ I wonder if the “needy” thing just comes with the territory…mine are all over me like the 2 year olds they are! LOL
Hope you have fun in your new job!
Welcome aboard Alex. Cooper is a cutie!
Welcome to venue Alex! We look forward to getting to know you! :-)

Welcome to Bonanzle! What an adorable little guy!
Welcome Alex! Thanks for giving us your bio.
I love this part:
“My pledge to you is to let you know what we are doing and why.”
So often, the persons in the IT umbrella fail in that regard. I think so many of us would love to know the what and why as needed of course and continue our positive, upward learning curve here on Bonanzle.
Yea, Alex!
Glad you came aboard!
Like the changes so far, anxious to see what is yet to come!
Welcome aboard, glad you joined!
Welcome to the part-tay! Alex, you and your ‘leopard’…how adorable.
Btw, my 2 y.o. is very needy, too (as most humans are).
Yes, please do keep us up-to-date of any UPCOMING changes B4 they happen. Forewarning always helps lessen the shock.
congrats, and look forward to seeing you more often

Welcome Alex!
Welcome to the ranch Alex….welcome home!
Love knowing y’all will let us know before changes are made, what changes, and why changes
If you haven’t figured it out by now, you’ll soon find, each of us sellers are very possessive and protective of our “home” here at the ranch, so it’s really important that
we are kept in the loop.
Looking forward to great things and a long,profitable, and happy relationship.

Welcome aboard Alex
You’ve landed yourself in a great place. Heck, I don’t even know these guys personally, but I’d venture to guess that you’re in super company.
Best to you in all you do.

Welcome, Alex!
I had to do the welcome thing cuz of the pup… lol! At first glance I thought he might have had Rottweiler in him. Lab & Shepherd… interesting & cute. I had a Lab/Shepherd; he was black with white markings. Now, I have The Critter Gang, which loves to put their 4 paws worth into all the critter posts here, as well as sometimes step up on their critter crate spouting their 4 paws worth of critter advice and/or personal critter opinions on critter topics. They tend to get me in trouble from time to time, but they are a lovable motley bunch of fur balls!
