Ask HN: Talks and articles re: being Head of Engineering (especially by women)?

7 points by greyivy 4 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


Hey HN!

I'm a tech lead on track to become Head of Engineering at a startup and I'd love to hear from folks who've been around the block (especially if you're a woman or part of another underrepresented group).

Talks, articles, Twitter handles, or anything else would be appreciated!

Thank you!

If you've not read The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier, you should.

If you are interested in talking directly with a head of eng who's been around the block, hit me up (email in profile) and I should be able to get you in contact with a woman who has gone from a teammate to lead to manager to a sr manager to director to sr director in a company that went from 30 people to going public with a few hundred people to being acquired and still growing to over 5k people, and who is now taking over eng at a smaller company. They are busy, but I could share your contact info.
