ABOUT OUR GUEST

 

Oliver Palmer ran his first A/B test back in 2008 while contracting at a London law firm. He discovered with a handful of experiments and a few false starts that he was able to halve their cost of acquisition on Google’s most notoriously expensive PPC keyword. 

Since then, in addition to working as an experimentation practitioner, Oliver works as a consultant and coach to help enterprise businesses become more adept at running business experiments at scale. You can learn more at oliverpalmer.com.
