About Crystal Ammari

Crystal Ammari leads digital product optimization strategy at The Walt Disney Company, where she helps teams decide which experiments are actually worth running. She focuses on experiment prioritization, measurement quality, and building a culture of disciplined testing across Disney's digital products, so that testing capacity goes to the ideas with the highest potential impact.

Notable Quotes

"I believe there was somewhere around 4 million-ish people and only 106 people clicked on the button. And I will never forget that 106 because it was such a huge, stark, obvious evidence that this is not something people wanted."

"So we did what I call dry testing, which is essentially testing a feature without that feature actually being built."

"It ended up saving the business, I would imagine, upwards of multimillion dollars. It's not just about building the capability digitally, but now you have to hire folks that can video chat. You have to train them."

"The idea of not calling them wins and losses, but savings and gains. If a test won, you gained something. But if a test lost, really we saved ourselves."

"One of the biggest unlocks is to just do it. Getting out of your head of having the perfect test. Just get something live."
