    VP at Zinnia | When Does AI Actually Earn Trust in a Data Org?

    What does it take to scale a data science and engineering team from 5 to 20 people in a single year — while also navigating the chaos of AI adoption in a space where the data has to be perfect every single time? Dustin Tucker, VP of Data Science and Data Engineering at Zinnia, joins Tech Teams Today for a grounded, no-hype conversation on building data teams, leading through change, and the leadership mindset shift that took him years to figure out.Dustin has a contrarian take that will rattle a lot of engineers: stop bringing him solutions. Bring him the problem.What you'll learn:- How Dustin structures his data engineering team — client-facing, foundational, and an emerging analytic engineering function- Why he scaled from 5 to 20 engineers in one year and what he learned about hiring fast without sacrificing quality- The short, hard skills test approach to hiring that cuts through AI-assisted resumes and keeps the bar high- Why he refuses to bike-shed on AI tools — and how focusing on Snowflake Cortex and DBT Copilot is driving real outcomes- The ROI equation he runs on every AI project before a single token gets spent- Where AI trust actually stands in a data org where client-facing output has to be perfect- How AI has changed his day-to-day as a leader — and where documentation and follow-up have gotten a serious upgrade- The leadership framework from Situational Leadership II that he still uses to diagnose every struggling report- Why the best thing he ever did as a leader was learn to meet people where they are instead of expecting them to meet him- His advice to aspiring leaders: there is no template, it takes time, and that's okayAbout the guest:Dustin Tucker is VP of Data Science and Data Engineering at Zinnia, a technology company transforming the life insurance and annuities space through data, automation, and AI. With nearly 20 years of experience across Fortune 500 companies, including Lowe's and Disney, Dustin has spent his career building data teams before the field even had a name — and leading them through every technology shift since.

    CTO/COO @ KOHO | When Your Developers 10x, You Hire More — Not Fewer

    Jonathan Klein is the CTO and COO at KOHO, a Canadian fintech company, which means shipping AI slop into production is simply not an option. He's also someone who grew an engineering org from 20 to 600 people at Wayfair, then deliberately chose to go smaller again to get back closer to the work. Jonathan has a take on token capping that he's happy to defend. What you'll learn: Why KOHO moved to a full-stack model and how Figma Code Connect is changing what front-end development even meansHow AI is shrinking the atomic unit of a team from six devs to four — and where those people are goingWhy judgment and architectural taste are now the scarcest skills on any engineering team, now that code itself is cheap to produceThe "swarm of code reviewers": specialized AI agents reviewing security, maintainability, and architecture separately before a human ever looks at the PRWhy he requires candidates to use AI in interviews and designs problems hard enough that they have toThe hype anxiety problem — why people feel like they need an agent running 24/7, and how to give your team permission to shut it downHis contrarian take: if your developer goes from 1.5x ROI to 10x ROI, the answer is to hire more, not fewerThe insight from The Power of Full Engagement he keeps coming back to: the fundamental currency of productivity is energy, not timeAbout the guest:Jonathan Klein is the CTO and COO at KOHO, a Canadian fintech company reimagining banking for Canadians. With a career spanning Wayfair (twice), Etsy, and multiple early-stage startups, Jonathan has led engineering organizations from a team of five to a team of 600 and brings a rare combination of deep technical credibility and organizational leadership experience.

    Co-founder/CTO Mavely | AI Amplifies Your Culture, Good or Bad

    Sean O'Brien, Co-founder/CTO Mavely, has been a believer in remote-first engineering since before COVID made it mainstream. He's also built a personal OS — a Sean.config file — that feeds his prompt patterns into a knowledge graph so his AI tools start to think like him. And he has a philosophy on engineering teams that he's been refining since his first company in college: you don't have to go find 10x engineers. You can build the ecosystem where they're born.This is a rich conversation about what it actually takes to build high-performing distributed teams, adopt AI without losing your culture, and lead in a way that makes the people around you better. What you'll learn: Why philosophical alignment — not tooling — is the foundation of every effective remote teamThe "happy engineer is a 10x engineer" framework and how he measures developer experience alongside customer impactHow Sean went from ad hoc AI experimentation to a systematic, skills-based approach with Cursor and Claude CodeWhy he asks candidates to critique AI-generated code instead of writing their own — and what that reveals- The "hype anxiety" problem: why you need both the agentic AI evangelist and the safe, functional code purist in the roomWhy AI usage is now assessed for every role he hires — not just engineeringThe Co-Intelligence framework: treating AI as an alien brain partner and why the delegation mindset is the new must-have skillWhat a Keurig co-founder taught him about healthy conflict and why it still shapes how he leads- Why AI amplifies your culture — and what that means if your culture is already brokenHis one piece of advice for every aspiring leader: learn to listen to understand, not to respondAbout the guest: Sean O'Brien is the Co-founder/CTO of Mavely, a leading social media marketing platform. A serial entrepreneur, Sean has been building technology companies since college — including an emoji and sticker company in the early smartphone era — and has spent his career at the intersection of people, culture, and technology. He's a firm believer that the right engineering ecosystem doesn't just attract 10x engineers, it creates them.

    SVP at Solera | How AI Is Reshaping Engineering Orgs

    Alicia Davis is the SVP of Engineering and Development Operations at Solera — a global enterprise operating at scale in vehicle lifecycle management — and she has takes that you won't hear from most engineering leaders. She loves reorgs. She thinks AI is going to put your agile team "on Ozempic." And she'll tell you flat out: you're not interviewing to find the best candidate. You're interviewing to filter out the ones who will do damage.This is a packed conversation on what it actually takes to lead engineering orgs through constant change — and what most leaders are getting dangerously wrong about AI adoption right now.What you'll learn: Why Alicia loves reorgs — and why she thinks AI will make them more frequent across every orgThe "two pizza team on Ozempic" theory: how AI shrinks team size while massively expanding capacityHow the job of an engineer is flipping from 80% coding / 20% decisions to the exact reverseWhy she's seeing candidates show up to interviews with AI assistants live on the call — and how she's adapted her processThe Taco Bell cautionary tale: what happens when you rush AI into production without guardrailsWhy "good brakes make the car go faster" — and how that Agile principle applies to AI adoption right nowWhat the trust gap in AI actually requires to close (hint: it's the same fundamentals as always)The contrarian hiring take: you're not interviewing for the best candidate, you're interviewing to exclude the harmful onesWhat the next generation of engineering leaders needs to do to stay ahead of disruptionAbout the guest:Alicia Davis is SVP of Engineering and Development Operations at Solera, the global leader in vehicle lifecycle management SaaS, data, and services. With deep experience leading large-scale engineering organizations through multiple technology hype cycles — cloud, DevOps, Kubernetes, and now AI — Alicia brings a pattern-recognition perspective on change that most leaders are still catching up to.

    AVP Kennedy Krieger Institute | How a Healthcare Nonprofit Is Getting AI Right

    What does it take to lead a 30-person digital transformation team inside one of America's most respected pediatric health nonprofits — and do it almost entirely remotely? Tara Eckert, Assistant Vice President of Digital Transformation at Kennedy Krieger Institute, joins Tech Teams Today for a candid conversation on building high-performing teams, navigating AI responsibly, and what engineering leadership actually requires in 2026. From building a PMO from scratch to her viral take on remote accountability, Tara brings a grounded, no-fluff perspective that challenges how a lot of leaders think about their teams.What you'll learn:- Why remote work performance problems are a leadership problem, not an employee problem- How Tara built a PMO that turned a scrappy data team into a full engineering org of 30 — mostly remote, many out of state- The "peer supporter" model: why she pairs battle-scarred senior devs with AI-native junior devs on every project- What the AI hiring arms race actually looks like in practice — and how she uses AI to screen AI-generated resumes- Why critical thinking, not prompt engineering, is the skill that will matter most as AI matures- How AI gave her back enough time to get her hands back into technical work — and why she thinks that makes her a better leader- The biggest mistake engineering leaders are making with AI rollouts (she admits she's making it too)- Her take on the AI trust gap: "I don't care if it was AI or Bugs Bunny that generated the code. If it passes the tests, I trust it."About the guest:Tara Eckert is the Assistant Vice President of Digital Transformation at Kennedy Krieger Institute, a world-renowned nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children and young adults with developmental disabilities. Over her seven years at Kennedy Krieger, she's grown her team from 4 to 30 people, built the organization's first PMO, and is now leading the charge on responsible AI adoption — including chairing the organization's Data Use and Security Committee.About Tech Teams Today:Tech Teams Today is a podcast by Revelo where we sit down with engineering leaders to talk about how they build, scale, and lead high-performing tech teams.

    CTO at Synpulse: The Engineering Culture Principle Nobody Talks About

    Most engineering leaders talk about AI changing how we build software. Jieke Pan, CTO at Synpulse, is more concerned about what we’re losing in the process. In this episode, he breaks down why the fundamentals of software engineering matter more now than ever, and why “always be kind” is actually a high-performance leadership principle. What you’ll learn: Why being a hands-on CTO who still writes code closes the gap between business expectations and engineering realityHow extreme programming practices like test-driven development and pair programming are more relevant than ever in the age of AIWhat “always be kind” actually means in engineering culture (hint: it’s not about being friendly)Why the middle layer of engineers is thinning out and what senior leaders need to do about itHow to hire and evaluate engineers who grew up coding with AI copilotsBest practices for leading distributed, multicultural engineering teams across time zonesAbout the guest: Jieke Pan is the CTO at Synpulse, a global management consulting and technology company. With over 20 years of experience leading digital product innovation and transformation across banking, insurance, healthcare, retail, and telco, Jieke is a hands-on technology leader who still writes production code. He’s passionate about engineering culture, extreme programming, and building high-performing teams that ship quality software.

    CTO at Revenue.io | Hiring, Fraud, Remote Teams & Developer Velocity

    What happens when AI changes not only how engineers work — but how they’re hired, evaluated, and led?In this episode, Derek Knudsen, Chief Delivery Officer and Head of Engineering at Revenue.io, shares a clear, grounded view on the future of engineering teams: how to keep velocity high with smaller, surgical teams, how to navigate the explosion of hiring fraud, how to measure real ROI from AI tools, and why he believes AI represents an intellectual extinction event for companies that don’t adapt.If you lead engineers, this conversation will hit close to home.⸻What you’ll learn– Team Design: Why Revenue.io runs “small and mighty” podsLess headcount, more impact: the counterintuitive math behind smaller, deeply aligned teams.– Remote Work: Why they stayed remote even as others push RTOAnd how they collaborate across fully distributed teams with intentional in-person strategy sessions.– Hiring in 2025: How they screen for behavior, not buzzwordsWhy they shifted from skill-first hiring to attribute-first hiring — and how that improved outcomes.– Fraud in hiring: 7,000 applicants for one job & a near-miss fraud caseDeepfakes, fake paystubs, stolen identities — and what Derek learned the hard way.– AI ROI: How they measure productivity per engineerVelocity, opportunity cost, and what “2 FTE per FTE” looks like with agentic workflows.– The learning curve: Why leaders must create space to experimentAI doesn’t magically increase output; it requires dedicated time to climb the curve.– Leadership today: Empathy + modeling behavior during uncertaintyWhy leaders must “show their work” with AI to reduce fear and increase adoption.– Contrarian take:AI isn’t another wave — it’s an extinction event for individuals and organizations that don’t adapt quickly.⸻About our guestDerek Knudsen is Chief Delivery Officer and Head of Engineering at Revenue.io, where he leads distributed engineering teams focused on platform modernization, AI adoption, hiring excellence, and strategic delivery.About the showTech Teams Today is hosted by Lucas Mendes, CEO & Co-founder of Revelo — helping companies hire elite, time-zone-aligned engineers from Latin America.
