Building and scaling a startup is hard, but turning it into an organisation is where things really start to break. At around 15 to 30 people, what once felt easy suddenly becomes more complex. Communication slows down, expectations become unclear, performance becomes inconsistent, and founders often find themselves stuck in the middle of everything. Many assume it’s a hiring issue, but in reality it runs deeper. In this interactive session, we’ll unpack the people challenges founders don’t see coming as they scale, brought to life through real stories, honest reflections, and practical insight from working inside growing organisations. Through a conversational, interview-style format, we’ll explore five of the most common areas where founders underinvest early, and the impact this has as their companies grow. This isn’t a lecture. It’s an opportunity to step back, reflect on your own business, learn from others in the room, and leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately, whether you are just starting to build a team or already navigating the pressures of growth. ## About the Speakers: **Katherine Ray** Katherine works with founders and senior leaders to identify what actually needs to change in their leadership and people approach before it becomes costly as they scale. With over 20 years’ experience across early-stage, scaling businesses and large global organisations, she brings a broad and grounded perspective on how people and leadership challenges show up at different stages of growth. As an executive leadership coach, Katherine focuses on helping leaders build the clarity, capability, and confidence needed to lead effectively as their organisations evolve, while enabling teams to perform during periods of growth, change, and increasing complexity. **Kuldish Sibia** Kuldish is a fractional People leader and founder of Scaling People Solutions, with over 20 years of experience across global organisations, scale-ups, and high-growth environments. He specialises in helping businesses put the right people foundations in place before growth exposes the cracks. From performance challenges to complex people issues, Kuldish brings a practical, no-nonsense perspective on what happens when early decisions start to catch up, and what it takes to fix them. ## What to Expect on the Night: Doors open at 6:15 PM with a welcome drink and networking. Starting at 6:45 PM, this 75-minute interactive session including Q&A will include: **Real Stories and Insights (Interview Format)** We’ll explore five key people challenges founders face as they scale, including: * Creating clarity on roles and expectations * Investing in people management including performance, feedback, and accountability * Workforce planning, who you hire, when, and why * How leadership needs to evolve as your company grows * Building foundations before tools Each theme will be brought to life through real examples and honest reflections from working with scaling businesses. **Founder-to-Founder Discussion** You’ll have the opportunity to reflect on one of the five key challenges that resonates most with you or is most relevant to your business right now. Through guided prompts, you’ll explore: * What’s currently feeling difficult in your organisation * How this challenge is showing up as you scale * What you might need to do differently **Q&A** A chance to ask questions and explore specific challenges you’re facing. **Community and Connection** From 8:00 PM, connect with fellow founders, operators, and builders in a relaxed setting designed for meaningful conversation. You’ll also have the opportunity to speak with Katherine and Kuldish one-to-one about any specific people or organisational challenges you’re currently navigating. Doors close at 9:00 PM. ## Who Should Attend: * Founders and co-founders building and scaling a team * Leaders in growing companies where things are starting to feel more complex than they should * Anyone hiring, managing people, and noticing that what worked early on is no longer working This session is particularly relevant for companies moving beyond the early stage, around 10 to 50 plus people, where people challenges become more visible and more impactful.

**LeadDev London meetup** 🎟 Please **RSVP BELOW!** 🎟 Join us for our next LeadDev meet-up on June 18th and enjoy an evening of networking and talks. **Date:** Thursday, 18th June **Time:** 6 - 9pm **Location:** Softwire, 315, Highgate Studios, 53-79 Highgate Rd, London NW5 1TL Spaces are limited - you must RSVP to attend. We hope to see you there! ⏰ **SCHEDULE** ⏰ 18:00 - Arrival, networking and refreshments 18:30 - Welcome from our host 18:40 - **Unchartered territory: From Engineering Manager to Head of Engineering - Natalie Parker, Head Of Engineering at ENSEK** 19:00 - **Extreme Curiosity: The solution to all of AI's challenges - Andy Huang, Technical Lead at Softwire** 19:10 - Break 19:40 - **Certainty is an illusion - Mary Gudman, Senior Engineering Manager at ENSEK** 20.00 - Networking 21.00 - Close **🎤 SPEAKERS 🎤** **Unchartered territory: From Engineering Manager to Head of Engineering - Natalie Parker, Head Of Engineering at ENSEK** Making the leap from engineering manager to head of engineering is one of the least-documented transitions in a technical career. There's no shortage of advice for moving from senior engineer to tech lead or engineering manager, yet the step up to senior leadership remains rarely documented. It's also the point when your day to day will likely change most significantly from previous roles. This talk is the resource I wish I'd had. I'll walk through the five biggest shifts you'll encounter when moving from managing a single team to leading multiple teams and workstreams: where intentional time management becomes non-negotiable, why "disagree and commit" hits differently at this level, how organisational politics become unavoidable, why you'll need a crash course in product, marketing and finance, and why getting your team right is the foundation for everything else. For each area I'll share practical tips from my own experience, followed by honest advice on how to assess whether this transition is right for you — and how to prepare when the time comes. Whether you're actively considering a move into senior leadership or simply curious about what could lie ahead, this talk will give you an honest, grounded picture of what the role actually demands. **Extreme Curiosity: The solution to all of AI's challenges - Andy Huang, Technical Lead at Softwire** The impact that agentic AI tooling has had on the industry is undeniable, destroying barriers-to-entry and producing immeasurable levels of output. Working applications can be created by non-coders in a matter of minutes in a chat window, and unmanageable numbers of pull requests, issues, and vulnerabilities are demanding the attention of engineers. How does the unrelenting drive to explore digressive questions help us thrive where AI would otherwise threaten our very existence? **Certainty is an illusion - Mary Gudman, Senior Engineering Manager at ENSEK** Most engineering leaders have been here: the company is restructuring, the strategy is shifting, and your team is looking to you for answers you don't have. The instinct is either to project confidence you don't feel, or to be radically transparent in a way that destabilises everyone around you. Neither works. Leading through uncertainty when you're uncertain too is a skill. It can be learned. This is what learning it looked like for me. 🔹 **CODE OF CONDUCT** 🔹 As with our conferences, LeadDev Meetups are a safe and inclusive event for all.

Sunday rehearsal with Castellers of London. Meet us at the OBC Community Centre to help build human towers! This get together is a great opportunity for you to meet new friends, socialise and have a go and explore your abilities as a human tower builder a.k.a Casteller! For newcomers we have a team of trained Castellers who will introduce you to the group, guide you through the activity and help you safely take part in this unique Catalan tradition. When you arrive just approach us as we are really friendly! If in doubt ask for Cuss! Please let us know if you are bringing guests. After the rehearsal we go to a nearby pub for social drinks where everyone is welcome :) What do you need? 1. Ideally a cotton shirt: to protect your neck and shoulders, the more durable the shirt/top the better. We do not recommend any thin items of clothing! 2. Jeans: allowing you to move freely without breaking. 3. Mask: We still require the use of a mask as you will be very close to your fellow Castellers - basically you will be hugging people! The rest of the equipment is on us! We take health and safety very seriously, both in relation to COVID-19 and also the activity- please be assured that the safety of all participants is of the utmost importance to us and we take all necessary precautions to minimize the risk, ensuring we all have a great time! Our regular members won't be filling in the Meet Up to say they are going 🙂 So don't be put off if you see only a handful have said they are going. A minimum of 25 on the day is normal. What the Meet Up may show is how many new people like yourself are going.

You do not need to be deep in MLOps to attend. If you are a founder building with AI, a recruiter trying to understand what good AI engineering talent looks like, a fractional CTO/advisor, or a newer builder wondering what happens after a demo works, this event is about the real-world jump from prototype to something people can rely on. MLOps London is moving into its next chapter. The group has a strong history of practical talks and production-focused conversations. This first event under the new cadence is deliberately simple: a signal night for introductions, production-AI pain points, hiring/fractional CTO needs, and topics people want the community to cover next. The theme for the next few months is production AI: * agent systems after the demo * observability and evaluation * deployment and rollback * governance and ownership * what teams are learning the hard way No slides. No formal talks. No vendor pitches. The lightweight format: * builders mark what they know: agents, evals, observability, infra, deployment, governance, cost, rollback * founders/recruiters mark what they need: fractional CTO input, hiring signal, architecture review, speaker/topic suggestions * everyone leaves with a Production AI Bench Card: one useful intro target, one topic/failure mode for the June talk night, and one clear ask or offer Ram will give a short welcome around 7pm and outline the plan for the June talk night: "AI Agents in Production: What Actually Breaks After the Demo." Come if you build, deploy, evaluate, operate, hire for, advise on, or lead production AI systems. Free to attend. Please RSVP with enough detail for us to understand who is in the room. You should leave with a clearer sense of what breaks first when AI meets real users, what skills matter, what questions founders and recruiters should ask, and who in the room can help.

**Join us for an exciting AI agent engineering meetup where developers, architects, and AI enthusiasts come together to connect and learn from industry experts.** **We’re thrilled to welcome guest speakers from Snowflake.** **Jenny Zhou and Ioannis Doukas,** **experienced solution engineers who will share insights on Cortex AI and discuss practical approaches to building AI agents efficiently across different industries.** **The session will include:** * **Introducing AI and Cortex features in Snowflake** * **Agent use cases across different industries** * **Interactive discussion**

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
