Oleksii Ishchenko - VP of Engineering - Allyship and the need to adapt

This week I am joined by Oleksii Ishchenko who is the VP of Engineering at elopage.

During this mini-series of Allies in Tech, I've invited some amazing guests to join me and share their views and experiences on what DEI means and why it's so important to have within your culture - especially in the tech world.

Oleksii has a great back story - moving from Ukraine to Germany and working his way up the ladder to the VP/CTO level.

He shares how being in a 50-man team room felt strange and how obvious it was that change needed to happen!

He has heaps of experience with mentoring, challenging the status quo and pushing boundaries with companies that equate to an inclusive culture for all.

We discuss:

- His challenges & mistakes he faced when moving to leadership

- From his experience why is DEI essential in every company

- What benefits an inclusive culture holds

- Why building an all-white male team is not the way forward for company success

- And so much more!

So, if you're someone who's tried implementing change but doesn't know where to start - have a listen to this episode because Oleksii explains exactly how to start.
