Josh Melick
SVP Product & Data
at App Science
I love building great products, great companies, and working with great teams. Over the past 15+ years, I have founded two startups, exited both, and held high-impact roles within two businesses that reached large, successful exits. I love working with and alongside other founders, dreamers, and builders.
I’m a strong leader with a high level of customer empathy, deep technical understanding, and the ability to develop high-level strategy while also digging into the details of product, sales, engineering, or operations. Ambiguity, complexity, and pressure bring out my best work.
Throughout my career, I have been a frequent speaker at events, a podcast guest, and a guest writer on a range of topics. I am a builder at heart and constantly working on my latest project — companies, houses, motorcycles, or just a better way. You’ll also find me around the world on regular adventures — my family calls me a high-risk junkie.
I hold an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from UC Davis and completed my undergraduate studies in Engineering Physics.
