Melody Olson
Executive Advisory

 

  • Former Senior Engineering Director at Google, where I led 220+ engineers. Over 17 years, I built and scaled teams through product and technology transformations.
  • I advise senior product and engineering leaders on organizational velocity, execution under change, trust breakdowns, and scaling decision-making. Helping leaders go deep where it changes the trajectory of their teams. 
  • I’m writing Activate, a book on how technical leaders build teams that move fast and build what matters, grounded in interviews with leaders at Netflix, NVIDIA, Datadog, Anthropic, and beyond.
