Speakers: Matt LeMay and James Gunaca
Language: English
Where & when: In-person @ LeLaptop, 30th October 2025 from 7pm

For this edition of ProductTank Paris we’re excited to welcome not one, but two, London-based product experts: Matt LeMay and James Gunaca. Matt and James have more than 35 years combined experience working with big names in global product teams. Join us for an evening of collective introspection (over a friendly drink, of course), and leave with some fresh ideas for how to apply smart product thinking to your careers, teams and orgs (and if you’re lucky, a brand new book!)

Matt LeMay
Matt has spent the last 15 years working with companies ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises and tech companies like Google, Spotify, and Mailchimp. He’ll be discussing the work he’s done across industries and geographies to help product managers, teams, and organizations put business impact first without losing sight of customer needs. He’ll also be giving away signed copies of his new book, IMPACT-FIRST PRODUCT TEAMS, which includes powerful questions and conversation starters to help every product team focus on the work that matters most to their particular business.

James Gunaca
Product Managers are experts at creating roadmaps and strategic plans for their products – but rarely apply these same powerful skills to their own careers. In this interactive talk, you’ll get to assess your PM skills and see how they can inform your career roadmap.
James Gunaca has a 20+ year career in Product Management and Digital Marketing, working as a Product Leader at companies like Amazon and ExpressVPN across the United States and Europe. He’s built and led multiple Product teams who have delivered global 0-to-1 products like Amazon Echo with the Alexa AI assistant, AppleCare+ as a Subscription, and more. James now coaches Product Managers, on a mission to make better products for the world by helping professionals build and grow their careers in Product Management. He’s also an organiser for ProductTank London and founder of Product Sphere.
