Nick Dimitrov
Nick has 20+ years of experience at Microsoft and Amazon as a Technical Principal in Product Management and Business Development.
At Microsoft, Nick built new Xbox First Party games from scratch and hired teams to launch these game products and then scale them. Separately, Nick was also a Microsoft “As-Appropriate” interviewer who was responsible for key hiring decisions.
At Amazon, Nick was one of four people who personally pitched Jeff Bezos until he let Nick co-found Amazon Game Studios, where Amazon eventually deployed $1B+ by acquiring and growing the game-streaming platform Twitch, developing a 3D game engine, and building hit internal games.
At Amazon, Nick was also a Trainer of Amazon Bar Raisers, who certifies other standout Amazon employees to become Bar Raisers. Bar Raisers in turn decide, based on behavioral-interview methods, whether the company should hire a job candidate.
In 2018, Nick left Amazon and eventually started Bar Raiser where we show fast-growing companies how to make measurably stronger hires in ~6 months. As a result, these companies: 1) save hundreds of thousands of dollars for each wrong hire they avoid, and 2) transform their business by shipping key product milestones more quickly.
