Summary
Ella Schofield is a Fractional Tech & Product Lead with 11 years of experience turning early-stage chaos into product and engineering clarity for consumer-facing teams. She progressed from full-stack Ruby on Rails developer to Senior Engineering Manager at Bloom & Wild, where she led teams that powered one of the UK’s most loved online florists and scaled practices across engineering and product. Now advising startups as a fractional leader, she blends hands-on delivery, TDD and agile coaching with strategic product prioritisation to help teams ship reliably. Her background in festivals and events management at D&AD and operational leadership at The Roxy gives her a rare knack for coordinating cross-functional stakeholders and running high-pressure launches. Based in the UK, she is pragmatic, process-minded, and comfortable switching between coding, coaching, and product strategy to accelerate growth.
