Hands-on support
Seasoned Engineering Manager currently working at Zalando (8 years) and previously led teams at Rakuten (3 years), after 8 years as a hands-on Software Engineer. I built and scaled Zalando’s Fashion Search Engine from 2 engineers to a multi-team organization by hiring more than 15 Search Engineers and developing and promoting Managers and Principal Engineers. For the last 5 years I mentored Engineers, Manager, Senior Managers outside my company to navigate the leadership journey.
I help:
• Engineers/ICs make the jump to management with a concrete plan and action items.
• Managers (and managers of managers) untangle org design, performance systems, and cross-org alignment.
Expect direct but empathetic feedback, concrete frameworks (hiring rubrics, roadmap templates, org charts, job family role expectations), and accountability between sessions.
5 out of 5 stars
I’m very satisfied with the results I’ve achieved from my 1:1 meetings with Ahmed. He organizes and documents our discussions exceptionally well, providing detailed notes on every topic. This makes it easy to revisit what was covered and quickly find the relevant resources. Highly recommended!

What's included in the trial?
Every trial is a little different–here's what Ahmed says about their trial:
7-day trial: we start with a 25–30 min call to map your team, goals and constraints.
We’ll pick one priority (delivery cadence, hiring loop, 1:1s, or growth plans) and ship a quick win. You’ll get a tailored template plus async Q&A with 24h replies. If it’s a fit, we outline a plan for the next 8 weeks. If not, no pressure.
