About Allison Davern

Product executive driving growth and innovation across SaaS, marketplace, and commerce platforms. I specialize in building and scaling organizations that deliver measurable business impact and exceptional customer experiences. 15+ years leading multi-million dollar portfolios at Square and Amazon, with full P&L ownership and 100+ cross-functional team members spanning all functions including product, design, and go-to-market. Experienced in monetization strategy, bar-raising product management, international expansion, and global products. At Square, I lead monetization which includes a complete transformation of the company\'s legacy pricing and packaging model and end-to-end product experience, driving incremental ARR growth and improved seller lifetime value. At Amazon, I led the turnaround and scaling of nascent fashion businesses driving exponential revenue growth with direct P&L ownership. I pride myself on building high-performing teams by combining analytical rigor, customer obsession, and an entrepreneurial mindset. I’m passionate about mentoring future product leaders.
