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

I lead without leaving the code. At Gartner I'm the technical lead of a high-traffic platform: I own the architecture decisions, lead a team of three engineers and drive company-wide migrations, working with stakeholders from Director to VP and GVP level. Before that I was a frontend team lead reporting to C-level, responsible for delivery, hiring, mentoring and individual career plans. I've made the step from individual contributor to lead, and I know what it costs.

Alongside that I've run more than 130 one-to-one mentoring sessions, many with engineers growing into senior, lead and staff roles.

In the session we work on your real situation: moving from doing the work to leading it, delegating without losing quality, earning influence without authority, giving feedback that lands, handling difficult conversations, managing up and communicating with non-technical stakeholders, running technical decisions across teams, and choosing between the management and the staff-engineer path. You leave with concrete actions for the next weeks, not leadership theory.

I wanted to grow quickly in areas like system architecture, scalability, and testing so I could build on solid enterprise foundations. That’s what led me to seek out a mentor and ultimately connect with Ferran. At the beginning, I felt completely lost and often didn’t even know the right questions to ask. No matter how long it took, Ferran was always patient, thoughtful, and willing to explain concepts until I truly understood them. Rather than simply telling me what to do, he guided me through the reasoning behind technical decisions, helping me build both understanding and confidence in the stack and the choices I was making. Despite the time zone difference, Ferran was consistently responsive and incredibly generous with his time. Every question I asked was answered with care, detail, and clear explanations. Since working with Ferran, the scope of what I’m able to execute has expanded immensely. I feel far more confident as an engineer, and I now have a much clearer understanding of what to continue learning and exploring as I grow further in my career. Ferran is an amazing mentor, and I genuinely can’t recommend him enough. Working with him has been one of the most impactful investments in my growth as an engineer.”

He has gone above and beyond to help me build a complicated application. There is many times I needed help but was unable to fully articulate. He had the ability to piece together my fractured meanings and perfectly capture what I was envisioning. He has been punctual, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond to help me during the course of our relationship. His skills and abilities are truly unmatched. For anyone looking for help with coding, designing, or project management, Ferran is a one stop shop for everything you would need. I 100% recommend him to anyone. ”
