ABOUT JOHN MCGETTRICK
I’m a Head of Engineering with over 20 years of hands-on experience building software and over 5 years in engineering leadership roles.Since stepping into my current role, my focus has shifted from team-level delivery to scaling the engineering organisation as a whole; hiring and developing talent, embedding quality through strong QA practices, evolving delivery processes and managing external technology partnerships.I care deeply about creating environments where engineers can do their best work, clear goals with lightweight but effective processes and a culture that values learning, collaboration, and accountability.I’m comfortable leading in agile, distributed settings and enjoy working with stakeholders across the business to ensure technology is a genuine enabler of growth.
