About

I'm Alan Blank, currently a Principal Product Marketing Manager at Intuit. My career has been a journey from journalism and physics into the heart of tech marketing, where I've had the privilege of leading zero-to-one launches for products like Facebook Stories and Meta Pay, and directing global PMM teams at Circle. I'm deeply passionate about the intersection of fintech and financial literacy—I'm a big believer in the integrity-first approach of Jack Bogle and the power of index funds. Whether I'm advising startups that have scaled to $100M+ ARR or mentoring teammates on executive influence, I focus on using data-driven insights to drive real growth. I’m always looking to connect with other leaders in the PMM and fintech space to share strategies on GTM execution and international localization.

Opinions

Professional setbacks like layoffs are necessary opportunities for introspection and finding a 'great fit'.
High integrity is the most admirable trait in financial leadership.
Societal and economic trends should be understood through government and research-backed data.
