Culture
Defaulting to an attitude of support and celebrating others’ successes. Every company has some kind of culture. Some maintain it with meticulous attention, others just let it happen and hope for the best. Either way one fact remains: good culture creates an environment where people can do their best work, bad culture is soul-destroying.[1]
These talks show how engineering software shops are building environments where people are free to build the best software in the best atmosphere possible.

What is the focus of your work today?
I’m the CTO of an established 400 person technology startup in the legaltech space. My work is primarily establishing technology strategy for the company, leading the development, data and IT organizations and ensuring that we are delivering and innovating.
What’s the motivation for this talk?
When I joined Avvo as it’s CTO almost two years ago, I found a lot of issues that had resulted from the quick organic growth without a lot of deliberate thinking on how the organization should scale. We spent a lot of time creating structures and processes to give us better communication, autonomy and alignment. These efforts were influenced by my experience as a senior leader at Spotify and Adobe.
