The Black Box Lunch for Technology Leaders

An invitation-only roundtable for CTOs and VP Engineering leaders.

Behind every product delay, missed hire, or burned-out team - there’s data.
The question is whether we’re honest enough to open the box.

This private dining series brings together a small group of senior engineering leaders to unpack what’s really happening in the UK & Ireland talent market.

No slides.
No recruiters.
No vendor theatre.
Chatham House Rule.

Just candid discussion over exceptional food.

• The widening gap between CVs and capability
• The real cost of unfilled senior engineering roles
• Build vs Buy vs Borrow - what’s actually working
• Remote premiums, offshore trade-offs, and governance risk
• What we’d redesign if starting our engineering org from scratch

You’ll leave with:

• Peer insight you won’t get in public forums
• A clearer view of structural alternatives
• Practical thinking you can apply immediately

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
