Who Can You Expect to Meet at a Plato Event?

Here at Plato, we believe it’s important to create events for our community and facilitate relationships between new and experienced engineering managers.

In August in San Francisco, we held the “Traits of Exceptional Engineering Leaders” event, inviting seasoned engineering managers to present in front of the group and make themselves available for brief one-on-one mentoring sessions with attendees.

Here is the list of speakers who participated in these “office hours”:

• Gautam Prabhu — VP Engineering @ Zendesk
• Nidhi Gupta — SVP Engineering @ Hired
• Antoine Boulanger — Sr Dir of Engineering @ Box
• Vincent Mo — Engineering Manager @ Google (Google Photos)
