Culture is how you do everything - Francis Lacoste the VPE Coach

Francis Lacoste speaks about how he fuels growth for VPs of
Engineering as a coach. Drawing from decades of startup
experience at Heroku and Salesforce, Francis puts into practice
operational principles that help teams scale past 20 employees.
He coaches technical executives to become leaders who nurture
amazing engineering cultures by helping CTOs transition from
“building the product" into “building the org that builds the
product”.





Before coaching, he spent over twenty-five years in the
open-source and cloud developer tools industry. He started as a
software engineer working on open-source technology. He
transitioned into engineering management at Canonical. Francis'
experience with remote environment led him to Heroku where he
built the remote engineering culture. In 2019, he realized that
the engineering management path wasn't fulfilling to me, and
moved into a role dedicated to supporting the engineering culture
within the Salesforce Platform.- He's worked remotely for 24
years. Interested in promoting your product/service via
