About the Authors
This book is a collaboration between 15 engineering and technology leaders with decades of experience at companies like SAP Labs, Ariba, Portal, and more. These leaders have led teams across the U.S., South America, Europe, and India, and have developed innovative solutions in fields like AI, cloud computing, financial technology, and B2B SaaS. Our collective experiences represent hundreds of successful products and billions of dollars in value created across global markets. We’ve been through the highs and the lows of engineering leadership, and we want to share those lessons with you.
