Hunter Owens

I’m drawn to the products we use, the spaces we inhabit, and the objects we live with.

I was born in San Diego, went to UCLA, and have lived in San Francisco, West Hollywood, Colorado, and Hawaii. These days, I call Palm Springs home.

I approach both my life and work through three questions: What gets my attention? What do I pursue? What do I want to build?

BODi

Lead Product Manager

BODi, formerly known as Beachbody, rose to prominence with P90X, one of the most influential at-home fitness programs of the DVD era. More than two decades later, BODi is now a publicly traded company helping people around the world transform their lives through guided fitness programs, nutrition guidance, and supplements.

I joined BODi when Live Classes existed only as a one-page brief and shaped it into a product that launched across seven platforms in under a year. I subsequently launched BODi’s first freemium tier and led major overhauls of its web, mobile, and TV experiences. Today, I focus on making it easier for people to find the right workout, get the guidance they need, and stay motivated to come back for the next one.

LINEAR

Founding Team

LINEAR is a guide to the world for the architecturally curious, combining a magazine, archive, and concierge service. We help people discover the buildings, spaces, and ideas that resonate with them.

I focus on connecting the dots across LINEAR’s archive and concierge service, building the systems that help the right places surface while retaining our human curation and judgement as an essential piece in the loop.

Earlier Experiments

PRODUCT.IS

Builder

A hand-curated collection of exceptional products.

TVF

First PM to Director of Product

TVF, short for The Viral Fever, is an Indian entertainment company that helped pioneer original web series in India. TVF brought me in as their first product manager as they began moving beyond YouTube. I helped build and scale their streaming platforms across web, mobile, and TV, eventually leading product as director as the audience grew beyond ten million users. I built the features people expect from a streaming service, the systems that powered the content workflow, and new revenue paths through in-stream ads and paid subscriptions, without losing what made TVF special to its audience.

Relcy

Product and Strategic Partnerships

Relcy was a mobile search startup backed by Sequoia Capital and Khosla Ventures, built to let you search across all the apps on your phone from one place. I joined as a business development intern, building partnerships with leading app companies to secure access to the data and APIs that powered Relcy’s search experience. As the product took shape, I moved into product management and helped define and refine the app.

Saint Wild

Experiment in the Music industry

Saint Wild was my entry into the music industry. I partnered with Spencer, drawing on his experience crafting immersive digital experiences for artists like SZA and Big Sean, to help an emerging artist build an audience. We built immersive web experiences, used SMS to create a direct line to fans, and had a lot of fun producing music videos along the way. Music is a hard arena to win in, but Saint Wild gave me the chance to bring my technology and audience-building instincts to a deeply human medium.

Millennial Generation Entrepreneurs

Builder

When Facebook redesigned Groups in 2010, I put fifty entrepreneur friends into one, mostly because I wanted an excuse to try the new product. Almost overnight, it became a valuable place to get beta feedback, find co-founders, and connect with investors, quickly growing beyond its original members.
