Being an engineering leader is harder than being a regular leader. I should know.


For one, we can’t just hand the C-suite our JIRA dashboard when they ask for a status update. We don’t speak the same language.

That’s why engineering leaders are constantly being asked, “So, what is engineering actually doing?”

We have to communicate differently.

And what about the “guidelines” and standards created for us - like the DORA Metrics - that assume our engineers can work like robots? Not so!

Layer on the fact that engineering teams tend to be the least diverse and inclusive, and it’s no wonder engineering leaders have challenges like:

●  Struggling to retain A-players
●  Low team morale and engagement
●  Sub-optimal productivity
●  Issues with delegating and accurate reporting
●  Building and launching products on-time

As the Former VP of Tile, hailing from a long line of other innovative, large-scale consumer technology companies, I’ve directed, led, and managed thousands of engineers, and here’s what I know:

Engineers are people, too!

That’s why I’ve broken away from my beloved corporate career path to coach, advise, and inspire Engineering Directors, VPs, and CTOs to build high-performing engineering teams: combining the productivity and innovation principles we need with the empathetic, inclusive leadership skills we can’t live without.
