Ahmad Abdul Wakeel

I help engineers and tech leaders make the climb — leading up to their bosses, down to their teams, and sideways across their peers, all at once.

I spent 20+ years in tech and grew into leading global engineering teams across nine countries, most recently as a Director of Engineering reporting to the CTO. Early on I got stuck, with no mentor — once I fixed what was really holding me back, I grew fast. Now I'm the mentor I never had.

Here you'll find short, honest videos on getting promoted, the jump from engineer to manager, leading through layoffs and change, and the people stuff no one writes down.
