Widely recognized UX guru Jakob Nielsen joins hosts Alfonso de la Nuez and Dana Bishop for UXpeditious episode one – and explains why he predicts UX practitioners will increase from 1.5 million to 100 million by 2050 

UserZoom, the pioneer of the Digital User Experience (UX) Insights category announced the launch of UXpeditious – a weekly podcast series bringing quick insightful interviews with design, product and UX leaders. Hosted by industry experts Alfonso de la Nuez (UserZoom Co-founder and Co-CEO) and Dana Bishop (VP Strategic Research Partners, UserZoom), each 15-minute episode provides executive-level dialogue with UX design, product and research leaders who have fascinating stories to tell.

UXpeditious will explore key UX trends through discussions with executives from leading global brands (including LinkedIn, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and Mayo Clinic) and respected thought-leaders from across the design and research industry. The launch of UXpeditious follows UserZoom’s State of UX Survey 2022 in April, which found companies to be missing out on crucial revenue opportunities by not managing or measuring UX like a business critical function. This podcast will help listeners understand the crucial role of UX in digital strategy, as demand for research increases and more companies see the positive impact of UX on business KPIs.
