Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvgeny Shadchnev is a seasoned technology founder and Fractional Chief AI Officer with 15+ years of experience helping companies become AI-first by redesigning engineering around agentic workflows and coaching leadership through the human side of change. He founded Makers, Europe’s first major coding bootcamp that trained 5,000+ people and partnered with Google, Microsoft and Deloitte, and now embeds with CEOs 1–3 days a week to deliver strategy, engineer pairing, and cultural transformation. Comfortable both coding and coaching, he ships software weekly using AI agents and runs his life on Claude Code as a Chief of Staff—an operational pattern he recommends for knowledge workers. He’s coached roughly 100 VC-backed founders, hosts a podcast on CEO succession, and writes on identity and grief in the age of automation. With an MSc in Advanced Computing from Imperial College and deep product-engineering roots from projects like InvisibleHand, Evgeny blends practical build experience with systems-level strategy. If your 50–200 person tech company treats AI as a feature rather than an existential phase change, he focuses on pragmatic, rapid transitions that align value, tech and people.
