About Amanda Karakoudas
I’m a Senior Product Manager with 10+ years of experience focused on building and optimizing consumer marketplaces. I’m especially drawn to tackling UX challenges, reducing friction across the user journey, and turning high-consideration shopping experiences into clear, intuitive growth engines. I bring strong product intuition and a hands-on mindset to everything I work on. I thrive on digging into the funnel, identifying constraints, and shipping thoughtful, high-leverage improvements. I’ve led product strategy end-to-end, from 0→1 launches to optimizing established surfaces, driving measurable growth through disciplined experimentation.
