What we’re about
We are a community of technology leaders in the Auckland region who lead teams building and delivering technology solutions, products, and services. Our goal is to create a supportive space for leaders to learn, grow, and mentor the next generation of technology leaders. Our group consists of leaders with experience ranging from founders leading small teams through to those leading teams in large enterprises.
This group is designed for executives, directors, heads of departments, leads, and equivalent roles who lead or influence their teams and the direction of their organisations. Recognizing the strong overlap between product and technology leadership, we welcome leaders from both disciplines. To ensure meaningful and open discussions, membership is limited to those currently in leadership roles or on the path to stepping into one soon. We want members who have experience actively practicing in the field so that conversations remain relevant to the realities of technology leadership.
We host monthly events featuring experienced leaders who share their journeys, insights, and lessons learned. Our events typically include a speaker session followed by networking opportunities, allowing members to build valuable connections that support their growth. Occasionally, we may introduce alternative event formats to better serve our community’s needs.
We welcome leaders interested in speaking at our events and organizations looking to support technology leadership by hosting a gathering. To get involved, send us a message via Meetup or connect with our organizers on LinkedIn.

See all- What if your internal platforms could drive business innovation?Auror Auckland CBD, Auckland
What if your internal platforms could drive business innovation, not just technical enablement? Join us to unpack ‘Platform Engineering Done Well’, based on ideas redefining the role of product and engineering teams across industries.
We're lucky to have Matthew Skelton, co-author of Team Topologies visiting New Zealand! In this talk he will explore how platform engineering can become a force multiplier—not just through cloud, data, or AI tooling but also by shaping more innovative ways of working, reducing cognitive load, and amplifying innovation across the organisation.
This isn’t just for platform teams - this meetup is for you if you are a:
- Product Manager trying to scale smarter,
- Engineer seeking higher leverage in your work,
- Tech Lead or Manager navigating cross-team dependencies,
- Or simply curious about the next wave of organisational design and operating models...
You’ll hear how teams use product thinking, fast flow principles, and techniques like knowledge diffusion to unlock meaningful, sustainable change. And you’ll walk away with actionable insights—whether you're just discovering Team Topologies or already embedding it into your org.
We're running this event in partnership with the ProductTank Auckland meetup group - please RSVP on either this meetup event page or the ProductTank page but not both!
Huge thanks to Hypr for making this event possible by bringing Matthew to NZ and sponsoring the food and drinks, Auror for hosting and Daniel Walters for pulling this all together.
This event will be livestreamed - to sign up for the livestream please RSVP on the ProductTank meetup event page and select the online option.
