Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Hedley is a seasoned software leader and co-founder with 13 years of experience building and scaling cloud-native engineering organisations from hands-on development to executive leadership. As VP Engineering at Syntasso and former Director/Senior Director roles across Pivotal and VMware, he has led distributed Tanzu and cloud R&D teams across Europe and North America, marrying fast feedback, simplicity, and kindness into delivery culture. He cut his teeth in high-throughput, transactional systems and financial trading platforms, and has repeatedly combined architecture, recruitment, and coaching to turn small teams into reliable engineering centres. Notably he played a strategic role in CloudCredo’s trajectory into Pivotal, showing an uncommon mix of board-level decision-making and day-to-day technical contribution. Based in London, he prefers pragmatic engineering practices (BDD/TDD, Agile/XP) and brings a calm, people-first approach to scaling product-driven organisations.
