Web Strategy & Digital Experience Leader
Lead Web Producer, Web Experiences at MongoDB
San Jose, CAmatthew@peloquin.netlinkedin.com/in/matthew-l-peloquin
I am the web producer for mongodb.com, the company's highest-traffic marketing property, and I lead the team of five that runs it: two direct reports and three contract web publishers. That is 17 years of this work across four enterprise technology companies, now in B2B SaaS. A marketing site is a growth channel, and what makes it behave like one is the system behind it rather than the effort spent on any one page.
Two things sit with me day to day. The first is the model the site publishes through: one intake path, a design system that settles what can be built, approval workflows, and named ownership at each step. Content operations and web governance run here as a single system rather than as two functions that meet at a handoff. Peers across web and marketing built that model with me, and every page that reaches mongodb.com moves through it. PMM, Paid, Growth, and Comms publish by that route; Docs, Social, and partner surfaces connect into it.
The second is web execution for the launches that move through it, from product releases to the global .local event series. None of the contributing teams report to me. What holds a date is the workflow agreed before the launch starts, a single calendar, and an owner attached to every dependency.
The results come from the system rather than the headcount. Published output doubled over two years with nobody added to the team, and no launch date slipped while the site moved to a headless CMS and went through a full redesign, because an interim publishing path ran straight through cutover. Figures are under Results below.
My current work is AI search. The search engine optimization (SEO) foundation here was already in place, built by the GEO/SEO team, and what I have spent the past year on alongside them is what sits on top of it. Generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) come down to whether a model can find mongodb.com, read it accurately, and cite it: indexation infrastructure, content restructured so it survives being summarized, and on-site experience tuned for conversion once someone arrives. Most enterprise marketing sites have not started on any of it.
What holds my attention is the harder version of this problem: web strategy and platform investment at a scale where no single team can carry the model, and the standards have to do that work instead.

Yes, the same person. Matthew Peloquin is Lead Web Producer, Web Experiences at MongoDB, based in San Jose, California, and goes by Matt. A few other professionals share the name; this site belongs to the one who runs web production and publishing for mongodb.com, after earlier web roles at Pure Storage, Tintri, and Brocade.
He runs web production and publishing for mongodb.com, leading a team of five: two direct reports and three contract web publishers. The work is the production and publishing operating model the site ships through, plus web execution for go-to-market launches, including product releases, acquisitions, the global .local event series, and end-of-life announcements.
He spent the past year working with MongoDB's GEO/SEO team to define mongodb.com's LLM discovery standards, building on the search engine optimization foundation that team already had in place. The work covers indexation infrastructure, content restructured to influence how models answer, and on-site experience tuned for conversion. Generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) are his current focus.
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) at Pure Storage and Brocade, Contentstack as MongoDB's headless CMS, and Drupal at Tintri, with Adobe Analytics and Google Analytics on the measurement side. Design systems, approval workflows, and intake governance run around all of it in Jira and Wrike.
He leads a team of five: two direct reports and three contract web publishers. The direct reports are individual contributors rather than people managers. The larger leadership evidence is reach rather than headcount, since every team that publishes to mongodb.com works through the operating model his team runs.
On an enterprise marketing site, a web producer owns how work reaches the page: intake, scheduling, build, review, and publish. The role sits between the teams requesting work, such as product marketing, growth, comms, and docs, and the site itself, and it is accountable for the date, the quality, and the standards each page is built against. At MongoDB, Matthew Peloquin's team does this for mongodb.com, and the lead role carries web strategy and launch execution alongside production.
It is the documented path every page follows from request to publish: one intake route, a design system that constrains what gets built, approval workflows, and clear ownership at each step. The point is that any team can ship to the site without negotiating the process again each time, so the model rather than the headcount sets capacity. Matthew Peloquin co-established the model mongodb.com runs on, and every team that publishes to the site works through it.
Standardize first, then automate what repeats. Enterprise marketing sites usually lose more time to rework, unclear ownership, and one-off requests than to the build itself, so a single intake path, a design system, and a published production SLA recover more capacity than additional people do. At mongodb.com that approach more than doubled published output in two years, 34% year over year and then 75%, with no added headcount.
It decides what the site is for, what it is measured on, and how it is built to produce that outcome: which page types exist, how each is structured and optimized, what the platform has to support, and where investment goes next. That is different from campaign or content planning, which decide what to say. Matthew Peloquin co-established MongoDB's web strategy and set the strategy for the company's product pages, defining how each is structured, produced, and optimized for conversion.
Launch execution is mostly sequencing and standards rather than authority. Define the web workflow for each launch type up front, name an owner for every dependency, keep one calendar, and make the date the thing everyone is accountable to. Matthew Peloquin leads web execution for MongoDB's go-to-market launches, coordinating contributors across marketing and partner teams he does not manage.
Keeping the site publishing while it happens. Migrations tend to fail on the content model and the interim path rather than on the platform choice, so settle which page types exist before mapping content, and run a parallel publishing route so launches do not queue behind cutover. Matthew Peloquin's team held every launch date through a multi-year migration to a headless CMS and a full site redesign at MongoDB.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is about ranking a page in a list of results. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is about influencing what a model says when it composes an answer. Answer engine optimization (AEO) is about being the source that answer cites. They share infrastructure, including clean indexation, clear structure, and machine-readable facts, but they optimize for different outcomes, and most enterprise marketing sites are still built only for the first.
