DirectorPlus: What I wish I’d known
We always learn the most from our failures. But wouldn’t it be nice to learn from someone else’s for a change?!
We’re bringing back the “Geeks Who Lead” and “Startup CTOs” meetups as a learning community of Director+ engineering leaders focused on good practices for building and managing engineering orgs in a fast changing world.
This fall, we have three special monthly events, and we’ll be opening an invite only community for participants with monthly meetups starting in January.
We’re kicking off on Tuesday (October 29th) with a chance to learn from other people’s mistakes as we invite a cross section of experienced engineering leaders to share their own personal #failwhales.
Speakers:
- Sylvia Isler, SVP/Head of Engineering @ Better Life Partners
- Kim Phifer, CTO @ Rho
- Paul Barnes-Hoggett, formerly CTO @ Daylight
- Sarah Weir, Senior Director of Engineering @ Artsy
- Kwame Thomison, Senior Director of Engineering @ Almo
- Ale Paredes, Director of Engineering @ Viam
The event runs from 6.30pm - 9.30pm at 28th and Park. We kick off with food and drink followed by a series of lightning talks, breakout sessions and then an opportunity to keep conversing with your peers.
We’re keeping this one fairly intimate, so if you’d like to attend, apply ASAP!
