Work With Me

Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked globally with companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises, and have yet to find one that couldn’t use some help maximizing the impact of their product managers, teams, and organizations.

I love doing this work, and I take pride in doing it in a way that is focused on relationships and results. I don’t make a lot of PowerPoint decks or use a lot of heavy frameworks. I’m not looking to build a massive consultancy at scale. When you work with me, you’re working with me.

Here are some of the specific ways I engage with companies:

Product Team Coaching
Helping product teams maximize impact and minimize busywork is one of the great joys of my professional life. As we discussed in Chapter 1, every product team has the potential to break the Low-impact Death Spiral. But they are far more likely to unlock this potential with some expert help and guidance.

Product Leadership Consulting and Advising
Strong product leadership can be a powerful catalyst for developing and nurturing impact-first teams. I love working with product leaders to co-create an impact-first approach to managing, inspiring, evaluating, and incentivizing their teams.

Goal Setting and Alignment Sessions
Setting and aligning team- and company-level goals does not need to be an onerous or exhausting process. And it certainly does not need to be a yearly or quarterly exercise that the organization slogs through only to return to business as usual. Show me your team- and company-level goals; I’ll show you how to make them clearer and more impactful.

Workshops and Training
I offer a variety of half-day, one-day, and multi-day workshops and training programs to introduce the concepts in this book to product teams and organizations who want to put impact first. These workshops can be customized to suit the particular needs, goals, and scale of your organization.

“For three years, Matt LeMay was a trusted and indispensable part of our product leadership team at Mailchimp. His expertise and influence substantially increased our ability to deliver successful products in the market, and ultimately helped position our company for a $12B acquisition by Intuit.”

“Matt’s approach to product work is thoughtful, effective, and immediately impactful. Through a multi-month engagement, he was able to get one of our core product teams focused on important business goals, make their OKRs more actionable, and improve the way they size and prioritise their efforts. Along the way, he delivered training sessions to the broader product organisation that have become central to the way we think about goals, strategy, roadmapping and prioritisation. I highly recommend working with Matt.”

“Within days of starting his work with us, Matt was able to get our leadership team aligned on a concise and actionable strategy. In the months that followed, he refocused several of our most critical product teams on specific and meaningful business and customer metrics. Matt has a superpower for bringing focus and purpose to complex organisations, and I cannot speak highly enough of his work or character.”
