Hi, I'm Stephane Moreau
I'm a London-based Leader in Tech.
Senior Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience in strategic leadership, technical excellence, and driving innovative engineering solutions.
My journey
I skipped uni to chase my dream in London - and it was the best decision I ever made.
Here’s what happened:
2016: Dropped out of university in Greece and moved to London with no degree, no connections, but a dream - to work as a software engineer. Landed my first software engineering job within 1 month.
2019: Was offered an Engineering Manager role at a leading Cyber Security company. Led a team that developed solutions protecting millions of users from cyber threats.
2022: Advanced to a Senior EM / Head of Engineering role at a high growth startup, overseeing 4 global teams (20+ engineers) managing 25 open-source libraries. Improved innovation and enhanced cross-functional collaboration across the company.
2024 & Beyond: Founded EM Tools to empower engineers to confidently transition into leadership roles. My mission is to provide the resources I wish I had when I started: an EM masterclass, 50 actionable templates, career frameworks for ICs and EMs, and more.
Current Role
I am currently working at Zopa Bank as an Engineering Manager leading three teams responsible for AI and Open Banking.
Zopa Bank is a Fintech unicorn 🦄, which, among other recognitions, received the Fintech of the Year award in 2023.
Previous Experience
Managed teams of up to 20 people at Mimecast, Egress (a KnoweBe4 company), Ably, and IG.
Played crucial roles in tech startups like Voxygen and Nexmo, contributing to their successful acquisitions.
Philosophy
I'm an advocate for Agile methodologies, emphasizing intent-based leadership and committing to continuous improvement and psychological safety.
