DeveloperWeek 2024

Rukmini Reddy, Slack, SVP of Engineering
Tamar Bercovici, Box, VP of Engineering

The last 50 years have seen major cycles of technological change – from the internet, cloud, computing, and mobile. But nothing compares to the compressed timeline that’s happened with generative AI. Because of this rapid pace of innovation, the last year has been a whirlwind for engineering teams incorporating AI into their products. Leaders have had to redo their roadmaps, introduce new team structures and product pillars, create new product strategies in reaction to the market, all while having both a growth and efficiency mindset.

How do engineering leaders navigate these changes and lead through change? In this session, Slack’s Rukmini Reddy will share her perspective on what this past year has meant for the team of engineers and developers she leads, and how she continues to adapt and evolve her own leadership approach. She’ll also be joined by Box’s Tamar Bercovici to build on these ideas.

Using learnings from Slack and Box’s own work with AI over the past year, attendees can expect to walk away from this keynote with actionable strategies and advice that they can take back to their own teams about better communication, better transparency, and bringing technical teams together to work towards a common goal.
