Portrait of Eric Mandell

My experience

I've built and scaled some of the most recognizable startups in consumer tech, health, and education.

As VP of Marketing at MIRROR, I grew the company from launch to $150M in revenue and helped lead it through a $500M acquisition by Lululemon.

Prior to that, I served as Fractional Head of Growth at Codecademy and Maven, helping both companies bring new products to market, grow revenue, and scale through major funding rounds.

Today, I work as a strategic growth advisor, partnering with early-stage companies to clarify go-to-market strategy, level up internal talent, and instill data-driven decision-making processes.

What others say

How I think

I'm deeply data-driven and naturally analytical.

I use data to help teams get clear on what actually matters. When I look at a business, I try to understand the key levers driving the most important metrics, and use the learnings to figure out what to do next.

I'm at my best helping teams pressure-test their assumptions, clarify trade-offs, and focus on the highest-leverage opportunities.

How I work

I move fluidly between strategy and execution.

I don't believe in tightly scoped, static projects. Startups move too fast for that. Instead, I embed with teams in a flexible way, adapting my priorities as we learn.

That might mean zooming out to sharpen go-to-market strategy, or getting deep into the weeds on a specific channel, experiment, or decision. My goal is to be a true extension of the team as priorities evolve.

I work with a small number of teams each year.
