Good afternoon! ☀️
👋🏻 I'm Sally Lait. I work in engineering leadership, am an international speaker, writer for industry publications, and award winner.
👩🏻💻 I'm an experienced tech leader, based in the UK
I'm currently focusing on fractional leadership, consultancy, advisory work, and a small amount of coaching.
My previous roles have included VP of Engineering at Farewill, Engineering Director for Trust and Safety at Bumble Inc, and leading engineering across customer operations & financial crime at Monzo bank. I've also run a digital transformation consultancy, and originally started out agency-side as a developer up to Head of Technology.
🎤 I've spoken at, MCed, and helped curate a wealth of conferences and meetups around the globe - everywhere from the USA, to Europe, and Japan.
🏡 At present I live in Suffolk in the UK, where (if I have 15 mins free – rarely at the moment!) I spend time gaming, gardening, learning Japanese, reading, or collecting terrible hotel carpets.
🌟 If you'd like to speak to me about anything I've done or could do, please say hello!
