In this wide ranging talk, I chat with Dr. Ben John about his experiences in scaling and managing the team at AppNexus (and post AT&T acquisition at Xandr). We talk about six week planning cycles, creating a supportive culture, building out a learnign and development team within the engineering org and Ben's advice for anyone else moving from engineering to leadership.

Short Byte: Ben John - Managing engineering at scale

Hear the inside stories of the "geeks who lead at scale" - Directors, VPs and CTOs running software engineering orgs at larger companies with 100+ engineers, and interviews with domain experts who can help those leaders to manage their engineering orgs more effectively. I'm your host - Peter Bell, I've been helping senior engineering leaders to connect with and learn from their peers since 2010! This podcast is designed for&nbsp; engineering leaders who want to learn the latest good practices from their peers who are way too busy operating to write an article or publish a book! Running a software engineering org at scale is hard! You need to manage stakeholder expectations, attract and retain top talent, align and structure your org effectively and keep up with the latest processes and tooling. And that's before we even try to make sense of the potential impact of LLMs and GenAI on managing technical teams. Our podcast and weekly newsletter provide you with access to hard-won wisdom from top engineering leaders and relevant domain experts.
