About the Author:

An engineer at heart, with the strategic insight of an MBA, I've worked at Meta as an Engineering Manager. (Note: the views in this book are purely my own, and not reflective of Meta's stance.) Before and during my tenure at Meta, the seeds for the ideas in this book were sown. My leadership journey as the CTO of three organizations, guiding teams ranging from 50 to 350 members. The entrepreneurial spirit led me to co-found a data analytics firm, which we later merged with a renowned gaming giant. When I'm not leading teams or ideating strategies, I indulge in my passion for writing, crafting concise books tailored for busy managers like you.
