Supercharging business velocity: The game-changing impact of platform engineering teams

Explore how platform engineering boosts business speed, scalability, and efficiency, as proven by Pomelo's groundbreaking platform success.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to enhance efficiency, scalability, and innovation. As a seasoned director of engineering, having led over seven diverse infrastructure teams and currently spearheading the development of a groundbreaking platform at Pomelo, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of a dedicated platform engineering team.

This talk aims to elucidate the pivotal role of platform engineering in modern businesses, especially for executives looking to understand its benefits and impact. Drawing from my extensive experience, including the establishment of a platform from day one at Pomelo, I will showcase how platform engineering is not just an IT initiative but a strategic business enabler that drives unprecedented scalability and efficiency.
