Ep - 10 - I’m scaling fast: Should I scale people or processes first? feat. Chris Conolly (Director of Software Engineering at Gousto)

In this episode, Hywel and Chris discuss the challenges of growing quickly. Is it people or processes that you should scale first? How should you structure your teams to maximize scaling? What happens if you have enough people but not the right processes in place and how important is consistency?

Chris is a self-described "passionate technology leader" with over a decade's experience leading teams at some of London's most well-known scale-ups. He's currently the Director of Software Engineering at Gousto and helping shape the rapid growth of the Tech team there as the company consistently outperforms its expectations and sets the ambition ever higher.
