It was a great flow. We focused on one item, got the chance to debate some of the points, and meet each other. I think the framework is good and I left with good ideas for the future.
Andrei Gavrila - VP Engineering @ Pentalog
Great engagement, and lively discussions. Looking forward to more concrete examples, stories, challenges, and how to overcome them in the next few sessions.
Sudhir Tonse - Director of Engineering @ Doordash
The sessions are high energy and you’re good at engaging the participants which makes the class interactive and allows us to learn from each other.
I found the material of good quality and on point.
I enjoy it when you go « off script » and talk about your personal experiences. These anecdotes give an insider perspective that is difficult to get from publicly available content.
Mohamed Dehbaoui - Head of Engineering - Streaming @ Stripe
Your humility and vulnerability (which tends to radiate out to others in the circle): You are always ready to share your mistakes before your successes and that totally puts me at ease. I feel like I can learn from you because of that.
Your energy and passion for this topic is infectious.
You are teaching me brand NEW topics at least 50% of the time (believe me that's high praise :) )
Balki Kodarapu - Senior Director of Engineering @ SupporLogic
Love working with you as a mentor! Insightful conversations always.
Faith Meyer - Talent Coach @ Plato

Faith Meyer - Talent Coach @ Plato
Extremely thoughtful and actionable conversation. Thank you!
Shobhit Mehta - Security & Compliance Manager @ Headspace
I really enjoyed our chat, looking forward to reconnecting next month!
Kris Efland - Head of Tools @ Woven Planet
Always prepared for every session and can recap well on the last session!
Faith Meyer - Talent Coach @ Plato
Thanks Virendra very much for the session yesterday. Your perspective on No Risk, No growth was very enlightening for me and gave me a new direction on how to think about my career. Much appreciated.
