Greetings, Future Tech Titans! 👋

AI is changing EVERYTHING... including how we lead and manage our teams.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the role of AI in engineering, and I'm convinced that it's not just a tool – it's a partner. AI can help us become better leaders, make smarter decisions, and build more efficient and resilient teams.

In this newsletter, I'm sharing my personal reflections on how AI is transforming engineering management. We'll explore:

• The power of predictive analytics: How to anticipate problems and optimize workflows.

• AI-driven automation: Why it's the key to unlocking your team's true potential.
