About

👋🏻 Hi there, my name is Rok.

From a PhD at Cambridge to scaling a unicorn startup, I've faced numerous challenges, and I'm happy to share my insights with you:

1. Leadership and Management in Tech

With over 10 years of experience in leadership roles, I've managed teams that consistently deliver exceptional results and achieve top engagement scores. I can help you become an impactful leader in the tech industry.

2. Starting Your Own Tech Business

Navigating the startup landscape is tough! I've been part of a journey from conceptualizing ideas to riding the rollercoaster of a startup, growing from 30 to 1300 people. I believe that I can substantially increase your odds of success.

3. Writing Great Software

I’ve worked on a lot of software, from pet projects to massive virtual worlds for the defense industry. I can offer practical and reusable advice for developing software, ensuring your projects are maintainable and effective, even in complex team environments.

4. Interviews & Recruitment

Having interviewed thousands of candidates at all levels and co-designed interview pipelines, I can help you prepare for both technical and behavioral interviews, and assist in designing your hiring process.

5. Career Guidance in Tech

Need advice on an upcoming event or looking for a strategic career plan? Having worked at various types of companies, from small startups to multinational corporations, I can help you see and evaluate the various options available.

🎓 I enjoy mentoring because it’s great to see the positive impact of my advice, and it allows me to get an even deeper understanding of the topics discussed. My approach is to address your immediate concerns first, and then help you learn the broader principles for future challenges. See below what my mentees say about me.

➡️ If you think I can help, simply book a plan — it includes a 7-day free trial where we will get to know each other, discuss your goals, and see if there's a fit before proceeding.
