Summary
Toni Tassani is a seasoned engineering leader with 25+ years of software and architecture experience who currently leads Engineering Practices and Application Security at Ocado Technology from Barcelona. He has built and scaled cross-functional functions—Application Security, Developer Experience and Engineering Productivity—supporting 2,500 technologists across multiple countries while also driving Gen AI adoption for software engineering. Equally at home in code, coaching and organisational design, he focuses on the sociotechnical space: reducing friction by aligning people, processes and systems. He coaches leaders, facilitates hard conversations, teaches Agile at postgraduate level, and brings near-complete Co-Active Coaching certification to his work. Toni prefers medium-sized international companies where engineering craft and culture matter, and he measures success with both qualitative outcomes and quantitative productivity signals. An unexpected thread in his career is the blend of deep technical roles (architecture, SRE) with long-term commitments to teaching and philosophical study, reflecting a pragmatic yet reflective leadership style.
