Instacart | Shopping Experience

Senior Product Manager Case Study by Lexi Barry

Who I Am

As a data-driven, product-oriented strategist, I thrive on transforming complex, everyday interactions into seamless, human-centered experiences. At Instacart, I’d bring my expertise in experimentation, behavioral analytics, and experience design to enhance the way millions shop, plan, and connect through food.

What I Bring

I specialize in bridging consumer delight with measurable business growth—leading cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact, high-velocity product outcomes. My background spans marketplace dynamics, personalization systems, and multi-stakeholder optimization across consumer and retail touchpoints.

Original Product Idea: “Pantry Path”

Concept: A predictive meal-planning and re-order module that learns household preferences over time, automating weekly grocery lists and highlighting healthy substitutions directly in-cart.

By combining Instacart’s transactional data with AI-driven food intelligence, Pantry Path transforms Instacart from a convenience utility into a trusted household companion — helping families eat better, waste less, and shop smarter.

Goal

Increase weekly repeat orders by 25% through predictive reordering and personalization.

Value

Strengthen Instacart’s positioning as an everyday wellness and sustainability brand.

Scalability

Extend across Storefront Pro for partner growth and loyalty integration opportunities.

Why I’m a Fit

I see Instacart as more than a grocery platform—it’s a cultural infrastructure for how we share love through food. My experience in system-level product thinking, coupled with my commitment to empathy-driven innovation, aligns directly with Instacart’s mission and growth roadmap.
