Engineering Mentorship, Culture, and Personal Growth
With a focus on solving pressing engineering problems, it is easy to take for granted the wealth of knowledge and experience that the executives in your company have.
Pablo Calamera is the former CTO for JW Player. In his role, he oversaw all aspects of technology development and technical operations. His prior technology executive roles range from startups to public companies including iconic enterprises like Vonage, iHeartRadio, and Apple.
Recently, he sat down to chat with Change Wave’s (by Treehouse) Tim Nicklas. In this podcast, Pablo offers insights about:
- Mentorship
- JW Player’s background
- Diversity and culture within a company
- Role evolution as an entrepreneur
He touches upon viewing your company as a script that requires fault mechanisms to prevent repeated errors. He also shares a Men in Black moment from earlier in his career.
Take a few moments from your day to listen to the advice of a seasoned technology professional.
