Stephane Moreau 🎯 — CEO

10+ years building high-performing teams. My path into tech wasn’t traditional: → I moved from Greece to London without a degree → Joined a high-growth startup as a Software Engineer just 4 weeks later → Became an Engineering Manager in 2 years, managing teams at a cybersecurity company → 2 years after that, I took on a Senior EM / Head of Engineering role, managing 4 distributed squads Today, I lead teams at Zopa Bank across AI and Open Banking, bringing an awesome and innovative new customer-facing AI product to market. Alongside this, I coach engineers into leadership, run a newsletter for EMs, and build tools that simplify the craft of engineering management. What I can bring to you: • A strong product mindset paired with technical expertise • Systems to grow ICs into high-trust, high-impact leaders • Strategic alignment across product teams, platform teams, and stakeholders • A bias for action, clarity, and measurable outcomes If you’re building or scaling ambitious teams and want a leader who will get you things done fast, let’s connect.
