Engineering leadership
Distributed teams, hiring, development, feedback, career frameworks and succession.
Engineering & infrastructure leadership

Operations & reliability
Incident management, service ownership, capacity planning, observability and change management.

International growth, integration, cloud adoption, organisational redesign and culture change.

How I lead
“Give people solid ground to build on, and they’ll reach higher.”
I give teams the context to make sound decisions and make ownership clear. I value people who step up when things get hard, and I make sure they’re not left to carry the load alone.
