Robert Thorstad

Data and analytics leader focused on driving growth by aligning organizations around clear growth goals and levers, turning ambiguity into sustained product and ecosystem growth. At Meta, I lead data strategy, measurement, and experimentation for Metaverse developers, where I've helped define the first developer north-star metric and end-to-end funnel, built and led a 9-person data science organization (including staff-level ICs), and partnered closely with 200+ engineers — contributing to multiple-X developer growth over 18 months. I’ve operated at director- and head- level scope, with experience directly relevant to VP- level roles. I’m also a PhD-trained behavioral scientist with deep expertise in measurement, experimentation, and applied ML.
