Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNeil Power is a Vancouver-based Director of Engineering with 11 years of experience building and scaling product and platform teams in SaaS companies. At Procurify he leads Web, Mobile, and Platform engineering across seven teams and 35 engineers, owning delivery for procure-to-pay features, integrations, and the product control plane. He progressed through hands-on roles from mobile and full-stack development to engineering leadership, bringing practical experience with Kotlin, Scala, and service-oriented architectures to management decisions. Neil emphasizes growing technical leaders and pushing decision-making to the engineers closest to the information, and has led initiatives like SOC 2 Type 2 readiness and technical due diligence for fundraising. Equally comfortable with strategic cross-functional collaboration and low-level technical tradeoffs, he pairs people-first leadership with a track record of operationalizing secure, production-grade systems. An early-career background in network and operations tooling gives him uncommon empathy for infrastructure and reliability concerns when shaping product roadmaps.
