About me

As a Software Engineer & Product Manager, I struggled building the wrong products the wrong way. After years of iterating, I have a proven product strategy & innovation playbook. Want it for your team? 👋 I'm Jay Melone. I work with product teams that are trying to launch new products or rethink existing ones. But things move too slowly. Priorities constantly change. The vision is murky. The customer problem isn't clear. And so they build products that fail in the market... solutions they're not proud of. Does this sound like the challenges holding back your product development? I train teams like yours on the same product strategy & innovation methods we've been using and refining for 12 years now inside my company, New Haircut. By learning these methods, your products will be: 🎯 Focused: By prioritizing opportunities that align with company strategy 🚀 Impactful: By solving real customer problems in meaningful ways ✅ Strategic: By creating new revenue streams for the company We upskill product teams inside of Google, Rosetta Stone, Amazon, Home Depot, Mailchimp, Prudential, and many others. Upskilling happens through our expert-guided Learning Programs: • Opportunity analysis via Problem Framing training • Rapid ideation via Design Sprint training: beginner & advanced levels • Leading collaborative discovery via Applied Design Thinking & Workshop Design training Learning includes: live training from our product strategists + ready-to-use tools + 1:1 advanced coaching.

I always rely on him when I need strong product strategy, or to help upskill my team in their own design thinking skills. He is outstanding in both aspects. He provides great tips and reusable toolsets. I look forward to the next opportunity I have to bring him in to help solve a big customer problem." - Stephanie Allen | VP of Product @ Promethean "Jay provided leadership and training at a pivotal time in the Downy team's adoption of design thinking. I'm so grateful for the support he provided. I was so impressed with his ability to shift roles to support us where we needed it most - consultant, facilitator, coach - he was able to do it all seamlessly!" - Kelly Larbes | Sr. Design Director @ Proctor & Gamble
