Elliot BP

I'm an engineering leader with over a decade of experience across the startup ecosystem, from early-stage ventures to mature growth companies. My journey began as a full stack developer before transitioning to Site Reliability Engineering, giving me a comprehensive technical foundation that informs my leadership approach today.

As VP of Engineering at UnlikelyAI, I strive for people-first leadership centred on empathy and emotional intelligence. I believe great engineering teams thrive when technical excellence meets psychological safety and clear purpose.

Based in London after living across various European countries, I've developed a global perspective on building diverse, distributed engineering teams. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of mentoring dozens of early-stage engineering managers, helping them navigate the transition from individual contributor to leader.

I'm passionate about creating sustainable engineering cultures where innovation flourishes alongside work-life balance, and where technical decisions align with business objectives. My goal is to build not just great products, but great engineers who grow through meaningful work.
