Short Byte: Mark Reese - Starting from somewhere else

from Geeks Who Lead Podcast Hosted by Peter Bell

Wellington, NZ isn’t the obvious place to start a SaaS company. But Xero has built a globally distributed team of over 1800 people in product and engineering. In this episode, I chat with Mark Rees [https://www.linkedin.com/in/markrees3/], their CTO about how they scaled the org. Learn more about: - How he doubled his engineering team from 150 -> 300 in a year - His approach to allocating work across a widely distributed org - Why his team actually appreciated the introduction of standards for processes and technologies - The unexpected benefits of publishing a machine readable service directory for the org
