Senior🎓
Top SchoolEd Earle is an Executive Director of Technology based in Bristol with nearly a decade of senior engineering leadership and 15 years of engagement with software quality and product value. He has progressed from hands-on senior developer and architect roles to CTO, Head of Technology, VP Engineering and now executive leadership, consistently focusing on building rugged, adaptable systems and shipping products users want. Ed blends technical delivery with people-first leadership—hiring for learning mindset, cultivating agile practices, and embedding kindness and accountability to raise team performance. He has run his own consultancy (Seven Deadly Syntax) and led early-stage product builds with strong delivery discipline and budget responsibility at startups and agencies. Known for obsessing over what "quality" means in software, he emphasizes continuous learning and pragmatic engineering rather than mere tool-chasing. Colleagues would note his uncommon focus on culture as a lever for technical excellence and long-term product resilience.
