Nate Luzod

Director of Product Design

I’m a Honolulu Detroit-based product leader, currently serving as Director of Product Design at Audacy. Each day, my work helps millions of users across web, mobile and automotive platforms discover and listen to the nation’s best audio. 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 seek out roles that let me wear many hats, typically for mission-driven orgs with a focus on innovation through machine learning and artificial intelligence. My happy place is in the weeds of a project, building and leading a killer product team, and doing whatever it takes to deliver the best user experience.
