Still leading teams every day. I help EMs and ICs grow into confident leaders, ready for the challenges AI brings.
About
Hi, I'm Saray. I'm a Senior Engineering Manager at Synthesia, and I've spent over 11 years leading and scaling engineering teams in some of the most demanding parts of software: fintech, cybersecurity, identity and real time AI. I've led managers as well as engineers, scaled teams through periods of fast growth, and helped take products to real enterprise scale. Right now I'm leading teams into AI native engineering, reshaping how they work.
I coach the way I lead. We'll work on your real situation: the promotion you're aiming for, the team you're growing, the hard conversation you keep putting off, or learning to lead with AI without losing the human part. I'll give you everything I know, the frameworks and the honest read you won't get from a generic course. In return, I'll ask you to do the work between sessions, because that is where the change actually happens.
Leadership is a hard job and there are no shortcuts, but you do not have to work it out alone. Let's use our time to move your career forward, one clear step at a time.
Technical advisor for startups
For founders and leadership teams of small startups that are growing fast.
Fast growth breaks things in a predictable order: the way decisions get made, then the way the team is organised, then the people who were brilliant at ten and are struggling at forty. I have led teams through that curve, including through acquisitions, and I work with a small number of startups as an outside engineering leader.
It is advice, not delivery. I will not run your team or write your code. I will sit with you and your leads, give you an honest read, and help you make the next call well: structure, hiring, engineering practice, and how AI gets into the way you build without the risks that come with it.
- A free intro call to see whether I am the right person
- A standing session with your leadership, weekly or fortnightly
- A short written note after each session: what we decided and what to watch
- Your managers get the ElevaAI leadership courses as they open
I take on a small number of companies at a time.
