Who’s in the room

Built for the people building things

We're a peer network of CTOs, VPs of Engineering, founders and senior technology decision-makers across Geneva and Romandy. Members compare notes with people doing the same job: what's working, what isn't, and what they wish they'd known six months ago.

What we talk about

  • 01Technical leadership

    How to lead engineering teams through growth, change and pressure without losing the people you most want to keep.

  • 02Architecture & systems

    What it takes to design systems that scale, both in the technology and in how the teams are organised, including the decisions that never show up on an architecture diagram.

  • 03Recruiting & talent

    Finding good engineers, keeping them, and knowing when to let someone go. We talk about all three.

  • 04Adopting technology

    AI, cloud, platforms and new tools: when to adopt early, when to wait, and how to make the call either way.

  • 05Building teams

    Culture, onboarding, rituals, remote or in person: what actually makes a team perform.

  • 06Tech strategy

    How to connect technical decisions to business outcomes, and explain them clearly to anyone in the room, technical or not.
