WORK HISTORY
Chief Technology Officer @Leapfrog Technology, Inc.
Brighton, GB
As CTO, I set the technical vision and engineering culture for a global software delivery company with 450+ engineers across the US, UK, Nepal, and India.My priorities since joining have been clear: raise the quality bar on how we engineer and deliver, deepen our relationships with UK enterprise clients, and build an organisation that attracts and retains exceptional technical talent across all our geographies.Key focus areas: Engineering Excellence - Establishing consistent architecture standards, delivery practices, and quality frameworks across a distributed global team.🤝 Client & Commercial Growth - Working closely with clients and prospects to translate technical capability into clear commercial value. Our UK enterprise footprint has grown substantially since 2025, with clients choosing Leapfrog for the depth and reliability of our delivery teams. People & Culture - Building a culture of trust, curiosity, and continuous improvement across multiple time zones and cultures. This means regular travel to our Nepal and India hubs along with the US, direct engagement with engineers at all levels, and investing in how we develop talent globally. Strategic Partnerships - Developing and deepening our AWS Advanced Tier Partner relationship, including participation at AWS re:Invent 2025 roundtables with AWS Execs. Thought Leadership - Writing and speaking publicly on engineering leadership, software craft, and technology strategy - supporting Leapfrog\'s brand and attracting clients and talent.
ABOUT RUSSELL WARD
I\'m a technology executive with a career built on one core belief: great software comes from great teams.Get the people, culture, and engineering foundations right and the outcomes follow. I currently lead technology at Leapfrog Technology, a global software engineering company with 450+ engineers across the US, UK, Nepal, and India. We partner with ambitious businesses to design, build, and scale digital products from early-stage MVPs to enterprise platforms serving millions of users. My background spans hands-on engineering, solution architecture, data platforms, API strategy, and executive leadership, across FTSE100, NHS, and high-growth product companies. I\'ve spent the last decade leading large, distributed engineering organisations and turning complex technical challenges into tangible business outcomes.I care deeply about developer experience, engineering culture, and building environments where talented people can do their best work. I\'m equally comfortable in a boardroom presenting technology strategy and on a whiteboard working through an architecture problem with an engineering team.Outside of Leapfrog, I write and speak on software engineering, leadership, and the evolving nature of how we build technology. If you\'re looking for a technology partner, or just want to exchange ideas, my door is always open.
