About Nick Beyler

Nick Beyler is Experimentation Team Manager at Stitch Fix, where he leads the decision and insights team and owns the company's internal experimentation platform. A statistician who came to A/B testing from public policy research, he focuses on North Star metrics that predict long-term client value and argues that if you're only testing winners, you're not taking enough risks.
