Following up on the Stanford University and Harvard University fake research scandal…I just realized these supposedly elite schools don’t really have the brightest people and they just might be full of fakes and on-paper smart people who never have deal-world impact.

Think about it…when was the last time groundbreaking research came out of these schools.

Here is a subset of the top 5 most groundbreaking papers within the last decade or so and none of them are from these institutions 🤔 🤔

A former Manager reached out about an e-commerce manager role for a relatively young company doing $35M/year. The role manages inventory on the site (20 skus), CRO, and Analytics plus the e-tailers (Amazon). They launched a site redesign and CVR tanked, but from what I gather they have too much of a focus on Paid Social and upper-funnel tactics. They’re hiring for a Demand Gen Analyst/Manager from a different manager. So, the roles report into different people. Question below:
