About me

Meet Lisa Nemargut

Every year, billions of dollars are poured into EdTech products that never get used the way they were intended. The features are there. The research is sound. But somewhere between the product roadmap and the classroom, things break down. I’ve spent 10+ years figuring out why, and fixing it.

I started as a middle school math teacher in North Carolina public schools. I’ve sat in the chair your users sit in. I know what it feels like when a new tool shows up and nobody has explained why it matters or how it fits. That perspective changed everything for me. It’s why I left the classroom and spent the next decade building the bridge between product teams and the educators they serve, earning my MBA and leading cross-functional work across product, design, sales enablement, and customer success.

What I’ve learned across all of it is this: great products don’t fail because of bad features. They fail because product, design, sales enablement, and customer success aren’t aligned around the same story. I bring those functions together, and I stay until adoption is real.

My approach

Why Partnering with Me Is Different

I bring a unique combination of educator empathy, product expertise, and business strategy to every engagement.

Adoption problems aren’t solved by more features or louder messaging.

They’re solved by better instructional design, thoughtful learning experiences, and a deep understanding of how educators actually teach and learn.

I see the full picture, not just one team’s slice of it.

I’ve worked across product, design, sales enablement, and customer success. That cross-functional perspective is what makes the difference between a strategy that sounds good and one that actually works.

I’ve sat in the chair your users sit in.

Having been a classroom teacher myself, I bring real empathy for educators. They don’t need high-stakes onboarding. They need patient guides steering them toward awareness and proof of value.

Your Product Is Strong. Let’s Make Sure Educators See It.

Most product adoption challenges aren’t about the product itself. They’re about how it’s positioned, introduced, and supported. Let’s figure out what yours needs.
