Summary
As AI rewrites how software is built, it’s not just workflows that are changing — it’s the very definition of what it means to be an engineer. In this moment of profound shift, leaders must navigate more than tool adoption. They must lead through uncertainty, fear, and evolving identity. This session confronts that fear head-on.
In this session, Rukmini Reddy (SVP of Engineering, PagerDuty) shares her 4Es leadership framework : Experimentation, Evangelism, Enablement, and Enforcement . This human-first model is designed to foster trust, build fluency, and help engineers win — even in disruption.
