Leadership Lessons: Q&A with Mike Fisher, CEO of MyFitnessPal and ex-CTO of Etsy
·OnlineOnlineBuilding faster in the wrong direction is still the wrong direction.
RSVP here.The output trap – measuring progress by features shipped, velocity hit, tickets closed – has always been a risk. AI is making it more dangerous. When shipping faster takes less effort, it's easier than ever to be busy moving in the wrong direction.
Mike Fisher spent six years as CTO of Etsy, leading an engineering organisation of nearly a thousand people. He's seen what it looks like when teams confuse speed for progress. His answer: build the right thing, then build it well.
Mike will share how to stay outcome-driven when shipping velocity is the loudest voice in the room.4 attendees
/the-next-gen-engineer: How high-performing teams hire and grow in the AI era
·OnlineOnlineThe hardest part of hiring in 2026 isn’t finding engineers who use AI. It’s identifying who can actually think, build, and solve problems alongside it.

So what actually separates standout engineers today?
Join us for a practical, grounded conversation exploring how engineering roles are evolving, what companies are actually hiring for, and how the best teams are adapting their hiring and assessment practices in the AI era.
You’ll hear directly from:

- Dinielia Pillay: Talent Partner, OfferZen
- Tian Schoeman: GenAI Productivity Manager, Impact.com
