CONFERENCE DAY TWO

9:30 AM Presentation: Leading with Clarity: Using Team Structure and Data to Predict and Power Tool Adoption

When engineering teams grow and diversify, choosing the right tools becomes a leadership challenge, not just a technical one. In this session, Ionel Condor shares how his approach and deep expertise to team structure, long term stability and people first management helps him anticipate which tools will resonate with developers. Drawing on his experience overseeing teams of more than twenty people, unifying different security approaches and relying on real world data from surveys and AI tool usage, Ionel shows how smart leadership accelerates adoption and cuts through noise.
• Spotting the tools developers actually want through survey insights, productivity signals and usage patterns across the organisation
• Designing team structures that reveal friction points early and make it easier to understand what engineers need to thrive
• Winning developer buy in by presenting clear, evidence driven cases rather than relying on directives or assumptions
