About this session
Great leadership is not just about managing people. It is about building trust, making better decisions, communicating clearly, and helping others do their best work. This MentorCruise session is designed to support professionals who want to grow into stronger leaders, whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time or looking to become more effective in an existing role.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to navigate real leadership challenges and develop a clearer sense of your style, strengths, and growth areas. Together, you can work through topics like communication, delegation, feedback, team dynamics, decision-making, and executive presence. The goal is to help you lead with more confidence, self-awareness, and effectiveness in the situations that matter most.
Your mentor
Leadership in engineering is about far more than managing people—it's about influencing decisions, driving technical direction, mentoring others, and delivering impact.
I'm a Staff Engineer at Microsoft with 16+ years of experience across startups and enterprise organizations. Throughout my career, I've led cross-functional projects, mentored engineers, driven architecture discussions, collaborated with stakeholders, and helped teams deliver complex products. I've also served as a startup CTO, giving me experience balancing technical execution with business priorities.
This session is designed for engineers who want to grow into senior, staff, tech lead, or engineering leadership roles. We'll discuss topics such as technical leadership, stakeholder management, communication, decision-making, mentorship, career progression, and developing the skills needed to lead with confidence.
I typically conduct sessions during weekday evenings (CET), with flexibility to accommodate different time zones whenever possible.
