Leading Beyond Titles: Mobile Engineering Leadership from Both Sides of the Table

Session Description:

What does leadership really look like on a mobile team of 25 engineers? In this candid two-speaker session, a former Engineering Manager and a Senior Engineer share their lived experience leading side-by-side at Zepz—one from a people and strategy perspective, the other from a technical and influence perspective. We’ll break down how leadership plays out differently (and sometimes similarly) for managers and senior ICs when it comes to communication, ownership, and creating leverage. You’ll hear real stories—what worked, what didn’t, and what we wish we’d done differently.
