As Deputy CTO, I was leading around 20 developers in 5 product teams. My focus was to support and add value to developers and teams, my colleagues, the product and our customers. The teams are primarily involved in the Data-in part of the product, responsible for integrating around 250 platforms to acquire the data needed by customers. Mari was also responsible for a couple of platform teams tasked with building tools and capabilities for other internal teams.As part of the leadership team (CTO, Head of Product and Head of Design), I was involved in growing the organization, driving and adapting to change and at the same time delivering value. We collaborated on common topics such as team setup, common ways of working, engineering culture, technical strategy, and creating a flexible product organization that continuously adapts and delivers on the product strategy. Mari also worked closely with other roles in the organization, such as Customer Success, Sales, and Support, to achieve common goals and maximize impact from our deliveries.Clear goals, autonomy, ownership and transparency were important principles for all teams. To succeed, they had to collaborate closely with other teams. Therefore, I aimed for the teams to have the skills and capacity they needed and minimize handoffs, so that they could focus on delivering value to customers.

As examples, I developed and improved processes for recruitment and individual development, and I also launched a trainee program for system developers.My focus was on increasing engagement and to enable everyone’s contribution to developing the business and achieve higher customer satisfaction.
