Summary
Adrián Peña is a seasoned technology leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling product-led engineering organisations across Europe, currently serving as VP of Technology at Worksome. He has a track record of unifying Engineering, Product and Design to deliver SaaS solutions that simplify complex staffing and freelance management workflows for customers like Carlsberg and Novo Nordisk. Previously he led large cross-functional tribes and P&L-aligned engineering organisations at SumUp, and as CTO and tech lead has shipped mobile, commerce and IoT-forward products at startups and agencies. Hands-on by background—he still "writes JavaScript for food" and contributes to open source projects, with roots in PHP CMS plugins and macOS apps—so he balances strategic leadership with practical engineering craft. Trained in project management and team leadership, he focuses on reducing operational friction and technical debt to deliver measurable customer value. Coliving in Copenhagen but working globally, he brings a pragmatic, product-first lens to modernising legacy staffing tech.
