The future of events with Mind The Product CEO James Mayes

Today’s guest – James Mayes

Today’s guest is James Mayes, the CEO and co-founder of a company called Mind The Product, and the world’s largest and brightest community of product managers. After 15 years of building high-performance technical teams for banks and startups alike, Mayes decided to found his own startup TweetJobs.

After exiting TweetJobs, he worked with a few great companies to learn more about the world of products. During this time, he found that there were meetups and conferences for CEOs, HR managers, and many other career paths, but nothing existed for product managers. So he embarked on creating a small meetup in the city and people from other companies would gather for a beer and chat about their craft and share stories about their work experience over time. Some of the people from that group decided to band together more seriously and create what is now Mind The Product.

Mind The Product now has five annual conferences, including MTPcon, meetups in over 200 cities and a highly engaged community of over 200,000 product professionals. He is also a jovial British man with such a clean accent that it makes you want to listen carefully to every word he says. So I hope you enjoy hearing from him as much as I do.
