I help CTOs and VPEs navigate growth, build stronger organizations, and become the leaders their companies need.
Let's TalkEvery engagement is tailored, but the core challenges engineering leaders face tend to fall into familiar patterns.
Org design doesn't scale linearly — every order of magnitude brings a different set of challenges. The right question isn't what to do next, but how we work when we're twice this size. I help you identify and navigate the structural inflection points that matter: when to split teams and appoint managers, how to draw the line between product engineering and platform work, and when the org needs managers of managers to function at the next level.
Your hiring strategy shapes your employer brand. I help with the big questions — local or remote, build or buy, how to measure what's working — and with the tactical ones, including vetting candidates and closing the right hires.
Engineering doesn't operate in a vacuum. I help you define how you succeed alongside Product, Sales, and the executive team — keeping peers accountable and earning your seat at the table.
Your day-to-day is filled with people challenges. I help you make the most of each situation, grow as a leader, and turn every challenge into a growth opportunity for you and your organization.
I spent five years scaling Snyk's R&D organization from 1 to 150 people. The most rewarding part of that ride was watching people become leaders. When I left, I knew that was what I wanted to do full time.
Since April 2021, I've been mentoring VPs of Engineering, CTOs, and R&D leaders in fast-growing US, European and Israeli start-up companies. I work 1:1 with each client, typically meeting every other week over engagements that span 7 months on average.
I don't coach from the sidelines. I learn your business context, build trust with the people involved, and help you see patterns from other organizations that are relevant to yours. Every company is different, but the core leadership challenges are remarkably transferable.
Scaled Snyk's Engineering from early stage from 1 to 150 across all of Engineering over 5 years.
1:1 sessions, typically every other week. Hourly, flexible, and tailored to your pace.
VPs of Engineering, CTOs, Heads of R&D — from Seed funding to Engineering orgs of 100+ people.
I also run annual CTO/VPE peer groups for leaders who benefit from shared perspective.
From CEOs, CTOs, and the engineering leaders I work with directly.
"I'd recommend Anton to any CEO who wants their engineering leadership to grow as fast as their company."
"He understood our organization, worked within its realities, and helped our Head of Engineering become the kind of leader AI21 needed as a VP."
"He never simplifies people problems. He helps me see the full picture: what someone is capable of, what is holding them back, and what I can realistically do about it."
No long contracts, no rigid frameworks. Just honest, focused work.
We meet for an initial conversation to understand your situation and see if there's a fit. No commitment, no pitch — just a real conversation.
We begin with regular 1:1 sessions, typically every other week. Each session is focused on your most pressing challenges — strategic, organizational, or personal.
Engagements run as long as they're valuable. Some last a few months, many extend well past a year. You set the pace, and we adapt as your needs evolve.
If you believe you can benefit from a conversation, the first coffee is on me.
