Summary
Giovanni Galbo is an engineering leader and founder with two decades of hands-on software architecture and development experience, currently serving as an Executive Director of Engineering in New York. He has scaled teams and platforms across enterprises and startups—driving transitions to microservices, cloud migrations, and modular SaaS productization while delivering measurable operational improvements like near-total incident reduction and dramatically faster onboarding. Giovanni blends pragmatic, product-focused engineering with an operator’s instinct: he’s led integrations (CTVs, data cleanrooms, loyalty systems), spun out a data-driven division, and ran his own software businesses for real estate and content. He mentors engineers, hires at scale, and routinely moves teams from small prototypes to multi-team, global delivery organizations. Active in the engineering community via his blog and GitHub, he pairs deep technical craft with a preference for practical solutions over ideology.
