There is one person that literally wrote the book on the mobile growth stack, and that is Andy Carvell. He is one of the leading proponents in the growth world of taking a structured, thoughtful approach to building a stack that can adequately support a growth team. We are thrilled to have him here to share his update on how growth stacks are evolving in the native mobile app space. Andy Carvell, Partner @ Phiture and MobileGrowthStack.com
