About Me

Jeff Lash — Product Management Leader | St. Louis, MO

Also: Pickleball player and coach, (former and occasional) vibraphonist

Product Management

I’m VP, Product Management at Insperity. Before that, I was SVP of Product Management and spent nearly a decade as an analyst at SiriusDecisions and Forrester, studying how the world’s top product organizations work — and what separates the great ones from the rest.

I share what I’ve learned through daily product management tips on LinkedIn (#ProdMgmtDailyTip), podcast appearances, and conference talks (learn more about those here). Topics I keep coming back to: B2B product management, roadmaps and planning, and how product teams can actually drive business outcomes.

For nearly 6 years, I posted nearly 200 unique tips on all aspects of product management on the blog How To Be A Good Product Manager, providing resources and tips on good product management practices.

I also founded the St. Louis Product Management Group and chair ProductCamp St. Louis — two organizations I’m proud to have helped build from the ground up.

If you’re looking for a speaker or podcast guest, connect with me on LinkedIn.

You can read more about my work in product management, product marketing, product development, and user-centered design.

Pickleball

I’m a 4.0+ player and coach (PPR and IPTPA Certified). I teach private and small group pickleball lessons upon request, and I’m a coach and trainer for the St. Louis Shock Minor League Pickleball team. I post pickleball content on Instagram at @jefflash.pb.

Reach out to me via Instagram DM or email jeff [at] jefflash.com for lessons.

Music

I play several instruments, but mainly the vibraphone (though not as much lately as I’d like).
