Gabriel Zigolis is a Senior Engineering Manager based in Amsterdam with nearly 20 years of software experience and 11 years in leadership roles, known for building high-performing teams and shipping real-time applications supporting over a million simultaneous users. He combines hands-on technical ownership—owning roadmaps and leading cloud migrations to Azure—with a servant leadership style that emphasizes psychological safety, autonomy, and end-to-end ownership. Gabriel has led teams of 30+ developers across digital marketing and creative product platforms, and has a track record modernizing legacy systems and delivering flexible frontend design systems. He routinely shapes engineering ways of working and departmental budgets while coaching engineers to adopt strong engineering principles. Comfortable moving between strategic planning and technical execution, he brings experience from global companies including Palo Alto Networks, ABN AMRO, and Imperial Brands. An oft-overlooked strength is his ability to translate complex cloud and migration decisions into pragmatic, team-aligned roadmaps that accelerate delivery without sacrificing reliability.
