About Chris Lema

For the last twenty five years I’ve been leading teams of software developers, product managers, and marketing talent. A large majority of those folks have been smarter than me. And I’ve never minded that at all. My goal has never been to be the smartest in the room. I just like the leverage of leading people to deliver incredible products, amazing service, and to delight customers.

I’ve worked with several companies to help them build better software products and run better software development teams. This has been in leadership roles or consultative roles. It hasn’t mattered. If I get involved on a project, I drive for results by making sure the staff are well-led, mentored, introduced to new concepts and decision-making frameworks and more. If you’re trying to manage a team of folks, I likely have ways to help you.

I’ve worked with several companies to improve their marketing messages and how they bring their products to market. I’m a product guy all the way. So as a consultant or employee, I’ve been responsible over and over for marketing messages and go-to-market strategies. If you’re trying to figure out your segmentation strategy, learn what messages to focus on, and get the word out, I may be able to help you.

I’m a storyteller who engages people from the stage. Seriously, I’ve been speaking to crowds and gatherings since I was in high school. I’ve invested in learning the art of storytelling and can do it on a variety of topics. Even when I’m not on stage, I’m telling stories. So I can either help you shape your own, or tell some of them for you.

I know technology communities in general, and the WordPress community specifically. I regularly provide assessments and advice on strategy as it relates to the WordPress community. You may want to read my other blog.

I’m happy you’re here. Let’s connect if there’s a way I can help you.
