About Rick Tardif

I have over 25 years of experience in the software and cloud application world, working with multi-billion dollar organizations to create the optimum customer experiences for their customers with solutions like: Web & Mobile Experimentation and Testing; eCommerce; Content Management Solutions (CMS); Content Intelligence. At Optimizely, we\'re on a mission to help people unlock their digital potential. We equip teams with the tools and insights they need to experiment in new and novel ways. With my free time, travel with my wife and family is one our great joys in life. Classic cars (\'69 Deville convertible & \'57 T-Bird) along with golf, boating and snow skiing are other activities we\'re passionate about. Of course, doing these activities well is another story, but that\'s part of the adventure!
