The Experimenter’s Advantage

Welcome to The Experimenter’s Advantage: a newsletter for product, data, and growth leaders serious about scaling high-impact experimentation.

I’m Simon Jackson (aka DrSimonJ), former big-tech data science leader turned independent consultant. Over the past decade, I’ve helped teams at Meta, Booking.com, Canva, and dozens of others turn experimentation into a powerful engine for growth, learning, and strategy.

This newsletter shares what I’ve learned from the front lines:

  • How to design and scale experimentation programs that actually deliver business value

  • Why most testing efforts plateau and how to break through

  • How to build the habits, systems, and thinking of world-class experimentation teams

It’s also where I share ideas from my upcoming book and core consulting framework:
NAVNumber, Accuracy, Value — a simple but powerful way to measure and improve your experimentation maturity and impact.

Expect:

  • Deep dives, playbooks, and mental models

  • Tactical advice you can use next sprint

  • Sharp thinking and honest takes (no hype or fluff)

If you're a builder, optimizer, or leader who believes better decisions = better businesses, you're in the right place.

Subscribe below. And if something resonates? Hit reply and say hi.
