This is a transcript of my keynote presentation for the Regional Scrum Gathering Tokyo conference on January 8th, 2025. It was September 2023, my CEO was asking me a question, and my position as Vice President of Engineering was less than three months old. We have a bunch of engineers who dont have the XP mindset.

What’s your favorite part about the engineering culture (or company culture) at Netlify? Being able to have honest 1:1s with my manager and seeing results come from it. We are encouraged and celebrated to speak at conferences or write. Learning on the job is a great part of why I love Netlify.

Our existing deploy tooling and engineering culture made the transition to remote work go much more smoothly. Though our deploy velocity remained the same, the engineering org has been far from stagnant. In Q1 we promoted Emily Nakashima to VP of Engineering , and we hired two more engineering managers in Q4.

I assumed being a VP would require the same amount of slack as my past engineering manager and director roles, but in practice I’ve found that it really helps to leave even more slack time. I not only need to show up to conversations with emotional energy; I need to be able to do strategic thinking and provide directional clarity.
