As the head of Toast Technology Enablement, I lead a global team in developing a targeted strategy to achieve engineering excellence, fuel innovation, and elevate performance within our engineering teams. We equip engineers with the resources, expertise, and knowledge needed to thrive, and we actively solicit and implement their feedback through our "Voice of the Developer" program. Our streamlined onboarding ensures new hires and interns are up to speed quickly. Recognizing AI's transformative power, we've implemented foundational AI training, micro-learning opportunities, and AI-focused tech talks led by teams actively using AI in their solutions. We foster a culture of continuous growth and collaboration and strive to build a community of learners across the organization. This is achieved by promoting internal knowledge-sharing initiatives like tech talks, micro-learnings, and dedicated Slack channels focused on learning.

As Chair of the Toast.org committee in Ireland, I've had the privilege of leading a passionate team of 9 individuals in driving positive change within our community. Together, we've forged strategic partnerships with charitable organisations, providing support through philanthropy, employee volunteerism, and innovative product solutions. We've organised company-wide volunteer initiatives that not only enhance the food experience for those in need but also foster meaningful connections between our team and the community. Additionally, we've developed strategic frameworks for awarding impact grants from Toast.org, enabling us to establish lasting partnerships and drive transformative change. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience to collaborate with such a dedicated team, and I'm excited to continue making a positive difference together.
