Thue is the Kissmetrics Webinar Wizard and Marketing Ops Manager. Before joining forces with

Kissmetrics, he was a Lyft driver in SF, which is also how he ended up as a KISSmetrics marketer.

Whenever Thue is not trying to automate everything around him, you can find him hiking in the Sierras.

Tomasz loves dipping his feet in the river while fishing, injuring his thumb while gaming, hacking

away at a golf club, and driving demand at Kissmetrics.

He’s also the biggest fan of gummy bears.
