About Namita Baddula
I am an Engineering Manager at F5, where I lead a team of 20+ engineers driving enterprise SaaS and Cloud initiatives. Over 15 years, I have moved from Business Analysis to Product to Engineering Leadership, learning how to turn complex technical execution into measurable business outcomes. At F5, this has meant aligning roadmaps to deliver 20% YoY revenue growth, accelerating releases by 30% through Agile practices, and building stronger collaboration across engineering, product, and sales. What excites me most is bridging technology and business strategy while building high-performing teams that actually enjoy the work. I have done this in fast-paced environments, and I am ready for the next level of scale and responsibility. I am also deeply interested in the realities of women staying and growing in tech leadership, something I have observed closely as the only female manager in a 14-person leadership team. If you are building or scaling product and engineering organisations and want to talk about real leadership challenges, I would love to connect. l••••••••@gmail.com
