Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKate Mcgoff is an engineering leader with two decades of software experience and a recent track record of scaling and directing multi-team organizations up to 27 engineers. She has repeatedly grown engineering departments quickly while improving execution, delivery predictability, and alignment between Product, Design, and Engineering. At Neo Financial she architected and scaled a Financial Crime Prevention pillar to balance fraud prevention, operational margin, and tight business prioritization, and at Certn she helped grow engineering from 30 to 75 developers while introducing AI-enabled features. Kate is skilled at shaping staffing and architecture for scale without over-investing beyond the company’s maturity, and she drives measurable improvements through process, metrics, and accountability. Known for cross-functional collaboration — especially with Product and Legal/Compliance — she researches and presents on the PDE triad and brings that curiosity into practical org design and coaching. Based in Calgary, she blends hands-on technical judgement with a people-first leadership style that consistently converts complex constraints into predictable outcomes.
