SKILLS
ABOUT GRIFFIN YIANAKOPOLOS
I\'m a senior product leader with over 9 years across Zillow and Amazon building consumer, fintech, and advertising products. I specialize in taking ambiguous problems from 0-1 and scaling them into durable, multi-surface experiences.At Zillow, I lead the upper-funnel portfolio for Zillow Home Loans - BuyAbility, pre-qualification, and brand surfaces that connect Zillow’s 200M+ monthly users into Zillow Home Loans customers. We\'ve scaled BuyAbility to millions of users and made personalized affordability a company-level priority by integrating it deeply across major Zillow surfaces.Previously at Amazon, I launched Fire TV Channels (a free ad-supported streaming app) and engagement features for Alexa for PC, after four years in Amazon’s Finance Rotation Program supporting a $400M+ ads business and multiple devices/Alexa teams. My finance background still shapes how I think about strategy, modeling, and mechanisms.I’m particularly interested in AI-native and data-driven products where ML and Generative AI unlock better, novel customer outcomes and step-change business impact.
