Hello! I'm Max Leroy, an audience and product strategist based in Nantes, France 🌊
I work with media leaders to sharpen and bring their vision to life 🧠
I launched an interactive interview show at CNN, led the audience product team at The New York Times, helped shape Le Monde's English-language strategy, and headed product and design at POLITICO in Europe.
If you're working on a new media, product or initiative—or transforming an existing one—let's work together! ✌️

When Maxime joined my team at CNN, by his second day, he was already talking to users, gathering feedback, and refining the Jobs To Be Done to unite the team around a shared product vision.
Max is the kind of person you immediately want to work with. He brings deep empathy, critical thinking, and creativity to every problem. He sets a standard for excellence and never backs down.
Former Vice President, Product & Design at The Atlantic, Head of Product, News at Apple, and Product Director at The New York Times
We worked with Max to refine our marketing and product strategy internationally. We were impressed by his ability to effectively address our challenges and propose relevant, insightful, and innovative solutions. His analytical and synthesis skills, combined with his understanding of the media market and his highly appreciated personality, make him a rare and valuable asset.
Max is an exceptionally strong product leader. His design background gives him a rigorous focus on solving real customer problems, as well as a strong sense of brand, marketing and how to build a community. He is also a great communicator who knows how to inspire and lead cross-functional teams. Great things will happen when Max is at the helm.
