I help software engineers and engineering leaders become confident, effective managers who deliver results without burning out or losing their humanity.
Most engineers become managers and feel lost, overwhelmed, and stressed within months.
Not because they lack intelligence, but because no one taught them how to lead people, only systems.
I’ve been there.
After 25 years scaling teams (Ocado 5→30+, £3.5M AWS savings, 60% Azure cost reduction), I now coach engineering leaders to become effective, respected, and adaptable in the AI era—without burning out.
What I help with:
- Transition from IC to Engineering Manager with confidence and without burning out
- Lead teams of 10–50 engineers with clarity, execution discipline, and reduced decision overload
- Build influence across stakeholders, not just authority within your team
- Navigate AI-driven change and organisational pressure without losing direction
- Build practical leadership systems that reduce stress and work under real pressure
Who I work with:
- Senior and Staff Engineers considering their first leadership role
- New or struggling Engineering Managers who feel overwhelmed or unsure
- EMs and CTOs who want to scale their impact without burning out
I also write Leadership as a Verb (https://newsletter.diamantinoalmeida.com) where I share practical lessons on engineering culture and leadership.
If you’re feeling stressed, stretched, or unsure how to lead in this AI era, message me. We’ll start with a quick intro call to clarify your goals and how I can help.
