Nate Luzod

I’m a Detroit-based, patent-pending product leader, currently serving as Director of Product Design at Audacy. My work helps millions of users across mobile, web, automotive and smart speaker platforms discover and listen to the nation’s finest radio and podcasting. Previously, I was Director of Engineering at the agency arm of The Atlantic. Our small but mighty team shipped award-winning products for clients like MIT, The United Nations and The Southern Poverty Law Center.

I do everything, from creating modular design systems to writing the code that brings them to life, and from setting strategy with the C-suite to developing project plans. But my happiest place is in the weeds—working with and leading teams that punch above their weight, and shipping things that solve hard problems.

Outside of work I stay busy surfing, renovating my 1956 mid-century ranch, collecting vinyl and hanging out with my amazing wife, our hyperactive 4 year old daughter and our gigantic labradoodle. Reach out for more at nate.luzod@gmail.com.
