Engineering Leader & Educator
Andrew spent 20+ years in tech, starting as a developer and working his way to CTO. Along the way he discovered that being great at code doesn't make you great at leading people, and nobody tells you that when they promote you.
Now he runs workshops for tech leaders, teaching the communication, trust-building and strategic thinking skills he had to learn through trial and error (heavy on the error side!).
FOUNDER STORY
# Bridging tech and people leadership
# Bridging tech and people leadership
Hi, I’m Andrew - a tech geek, CTO and entrepreneur on a mission to transform great tech experts into great leaders.
15 years ago, I got promoted because I was good at writing code. Nobody mentioned that the job would be completely different.
I had no support, and no idea what I was doing. I couldn't manage my time. I couldn't delegate. I thought the job would be to write code faster.
That wasn't the answer. So I figured it out the hard way. I practiced, made mistakes, and learned from the leaders around me who were willing to share what actually worked.
My story isn't unique. I hear it constantly, from tech leads and EMs who got the title but not the learning and support. It makes sense to promote your best engineers but leadership is a completely different skill set, and it's rarely taught.
That's why I’m here today doing what I’m passionate about. Change your future with leadership skills. The transition from IC to leader shouldn't feel like you're figuring it out alone.
