Christy O'reilly is a seasoned product engineer and startup tech leader with 15 years’ experience building and scaling engineering organisations across growth and seed stages. She has led teams from 2 to 50 engineers, hiring and managing across fully and partially remote environments while owning technical and product strategy. Her strengths include rapid, lean delivery—turning MVPs into pilots and iterating from user feedback—and aligning engineering work with business outcomes, having driven due diligence that secured £5M in VC funding. As VP Engineering and interim CTO she’s overseen cross-functional stacks (backend, mobile, platform, data, QA) and introduced BI tooling to make the wider business data-driven. She combines hands-on implementation (Python/Django/React history) with people-first management—building psychological safety and career ladders to lift morale and retention. Based in Stony Stratford, she also runs a consulting practice advising startups on pragmatic tech and product trade-offs.
