Ekke Vasli is a seasoned engineering leader with 13 years of experience scaling product teams and platforms across Skype/Microsoft, Meta, and fast-growing startups, now serving as Director of Engineering at Personio. He blends hands-on architecture and platform migration experience with people-first management—having led org-wide modernizations, microservice builds, and global payments systems as well as large remote teams. At Meta he managed engineering efforts for workplace apps and security initiatives that protected billions of users, and earlier at Skype he progressed from developer to senior manager driving payments, fraud, and integration work. Comfortable across mobile, web and backend stacks, he also brings a practical security background and early open-source tooling experience from his freelance days. A former film-directing lecturer with a master’s in photography/philosophy, he applies storytelling and design thinking to product and team strategy. Based in Rosenheim, Bavaria, he combines pragmatic engineering rigor with a creative, cross-disciplinary perspective that helps organizations deliver reliable, user-focused software.
