Fredrik Jones — Director of Engineering
Tech exec with global experience and over a decade of leadership experience across Cloud, Trust&Safety, and Telco. I have successfully built, led, and developed globally distributed teams of up to ~100 full time employees (including managers-of-managers) repeatedly delivering demonstrable success. On top of my solid background in Tech/Software Engineering (both educationally through a MSc in SW Eng, as well as professionally), I have extensive customer facing experience, and experience managing P&L and building profitable businesses. In an ever-faster changing world, I believe it's crucial to never get stuck to a certain technology, a certain way of doing things, or even a certain industry, but to always continue to develop. I have always drawn a lot of inspiration from being a lifelong reader, and this passage from one of my favourite authors describes what I aspire to in life in that respect, both personally and professionally: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert A. Heinlein The one thing that never changes is that we should always start with people in mind, team, customers, partners, friends; act with integrity, treat them well, plan and build for the long term, and the rest will follow.
