Conferences, internal company events, meetups, podcasts, panels. Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, San Francisco. I love the moment of impact — when a room's perception of the subject changes, and someone in the audience leaves ready to run a different play on Monday.
I am a keynote speaker, panelist, and moderator on engineering leadership, based in Prague, Czech Republic. I deliver 50+ events a year across Europe and North America. Recent stages include PlatoHQ × Netflix (3,000 attendees), Elevate SF main stage (600+), StartupDisrupt at Prague Castle (250+), Barclays Capital (240+ developers), mDevCamp (500+), and Dr Max internal conference (200+).
When your event is done, most of the audience needs the next step. I offer 1:1 mentoring for the attendees who want to go deeper, Leadership Academy workshops for whole teams, and fractional CTO engagements for orgs that need senior help without a full hire. See what mentees say on the testimonials page.
