Sam Lafontaine

Hey, I'm Sam. I’m a product manager, technical growth marketer and frontend developer based in Montréal, QC. I have spent the last 7 years working at the intersection of Growth and Product Management for SaaS companies from seed to series B in Europe and North America. I'm passionate about software, technology, entrepreneurship and business and spend a lot of time trying to get better at it. My core strengths lie in the domains of product management, frontend development, data analytics, team leadership and growth strategy.

I occasionally write about strategy, culture, growth, leadership, product management and everything in between.

Over the last few years, I've developed a strong interest and a passion for programming, and have found a lot of joy in building tools and apps that I find useful. Have a look at my recent projects . My current stack is Typescript, Next.js 14 & Tailwind CSS.

I'm a dad, runner, hockey player, bike touring enthusiast and hobby coder. I also love to read, cook, travel & learn new things. I grew up in Montréal, where I currently live, and have studied and worked in Hong Kong and Copenhagen. I speak French, English and Swedish.
