Experience in rapidly scaling engineering teams, based on a proven track record in the ability to attract, inspire, and retain top talent. Excellent communicator, low ego, capable of motivating and energising both team members and peers, with a proven ability to create a highly collaborative working environment and generate enthusiasm for the company's mission.
