Rudi De Sousa is an experienced engineering executive with 12+ years leading cloud-native platforms and large-scale software delivery, now serving as SVP Software Engineering at Take-Two Interactive after senior infrastructure and cloud leadership roles at News Corp. He blends systems thinking and hands-on development (Java, Groovy, Node.js) with lean delivery practices—Scrum, Kanban and continuous improvement—to build high-performing, self-organising teams that ship reliable systems. Rudi’s background spans product, architecture and operational leadership across media, gaming and utilities, from Head of Engineering at The Times to CTO at YLD, giving him a rare crossover of newsroom-to-gaming operational experience. Known as a delivery evangelist and coach, he is as comfortable defining platform strategy as he is mentoring engineering managers to solve hard technical and organisational problems. An early career foundation at Sun, Oracle and Accenture underpins his pragmatic approach to scaling engineering organisations.
