We Transform
Leaders into Ones
Worth Following

01

Mentoring and Coaching

Since 2019, I mentor engineering managers, directors, VPEs and CTOs two days a week, offering a maximum of four sessions per day on a bi-weekly basis, and handle 16 individual mentees simultaneously. Please verify the mentoring conditions before applying.

You’re looking for a partner in crime who will help you grow your team(s) and validate your thoughts. Somebody who’s been there, knows how it feels and will set you up for success on the timeline. You want to gain trust to your teams, stand on both feet, and move away from operational pressure to thinking systematically / strategically. Raising Engineering Managers is a challenge. Each person has a different starting point, path, and motivation why to turn into a Leader worth Following.

Since 2019, I have mentored 90+ exclusive engineering leaders from 7+ countries 🇨🇿 🇺🇸 🇸🇰 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 🇳🇱 during 600+ mentoring sessions. I perform 8+ academy workshops and I speak at 20 events a year.

Marian’s wealth of experience was incredibly valuable to me. Marian has taught me to look beyond daily tasks and set long-term goals. This shift in perspective has greatly enhanced my planning and strategic thinking. Marian’s mentorship has accelerated my learning and influenced my leadership style. Thanks to Marian, I was able to share my insights as a speaker at the Engineering Leaders meetup, an enriching experience in my career path I believe that anyone who has the opportunity to work with Marian will benefit greatly from his experience and guidance.

Marian provides a wide variety of services, from high-level leadership and C-level mentoring to best practices for engineering teams. We spent a couple of months together during our mentoring sessions, which led to my personal growth, increased efficiency among our teams, improved transparency, and overall satisfaction within the team.

I totally recommend any kind of cooperation with Marian. However, if you still hesitate, feel free to join some of his free community sessions to form your own opinion on what he can offer to you.

Fractional CTO/VPE

So far, I’ve helped Central European software companies raise $200+ million. As a fractional VPE, you can direct me towards any issues within your organization, and I’ll handle them for you. This allows you to leverage the expertise of someone with deep knowledge and the ability to deliver impressive results within a short timeframe. One of the advantages of fractional work is the opportunity to bring in a high level of talent that might otherwise be too expensive or hard to find. The most requested topics I often cover include Internal Audit and Efficiency Boost, OKRs, Product-Led, Engineering Metrics, Due Diligence, Structural Changes, Career Frameworks, and Time to Value.

04

Manager Workshops

8+ workshops a year.

You are a CTO or a talent partner looking to elevate your leaders.

The purpose of the workshops in to empower engineering leads to ship and scale using techniques and lessons acquired through real-world experience. The workshop is highly proactive.

Explore the Leadership Foundation and Leadership Master cohort courses.

05

Speaker and Moderator

25+ speaking events a year. You are searching for a speaker for your townhall, workshop, podcast, meetup, or conference. Do you intend to reinforce your message or desire to have a more significant impact on the audience’s mindset and perception? Are you in need of an adept moderator for your event?

My Triangle of Strength

How Do I Work?

01

Learning

I invest one day a week into my learning routine: reading loads of material, blog posts, writing, listening to podcasts, or speaking at various events, meetups, conferences, podcasts, and panel discussions.

It is tempting to abandon my learning day to earn more, but I believe I’d shortly end up talking about waterfall, mainframes and agile manifesto.

02

Mentoring

I dedicate two days a week to 1-hour mentoring sessions for engineering leaders, 3–4 sessions a day. The rest is preparation and operational work.

If I give up on mentoring, I will weaken my network and individual leadership.

03

Advisory

I spend two days weekly as a fractional advisor/CTO. Scope: Engineering metrics, internal audits, due diligence, structural shifts, career frameworks, and agility.

If I leave advisory, I will have zero opportunity to experience different situations and various client models to learn from and talk theory with no actual practice in the field. In essence, seeing what clients have built widens my knowledge.

A combo of mentoring (talking experience), advisory (putting things to practice and gathering feedback), and continuous learning (cultivating my knowledge) is my third eye. It puts me in an unbeatable spot.

My technical background is an asset. I’ve been there with you 💪. Moving from a developer over architect to a senior manager of 300+ reports. I know how it feels to be an introvert. We speak the same geeky language.
