In our final episode of 2025, we were thrilled to be joined by Peter Goodman, one of New Zealand’s leading engineering executives. With a career spanning several innovative global product companies, Peter now serves as SVP of Engineering at Auror, where he’s helping shape the future of retail crime intelligence. Originally from Derry City in Ireland, it was a real pleasure to have him on the show.

In this episode, Peter reflects on his early career, his transition from hands-on technical work into people and organisational leadership, how AI is already transforming productivity in engineering teams, and the emerging roles he expects to rise in prominence in the years ahead.
