"I had my first mentorship session with Bastian back in 2020 and his insights have been a game-changer for my engineering leadership journey. His holistic approach, emphasizing the four pillars of success (Tech, People, Organization, and Business), has broadened the perspective and find out practical ways to to make impactful contributions(not just within engineering org). One key lesson from him was the importance of business acumen in tech leadership and his recommendations for learning through books, podcasts, and even a business internship have opened new avenues of learning and alingment with broader business objectives. He also helped to identify the improvement areas like hands-on management style, emphasis on curiosity, connecting engineers on a personal level to build trust and empower them to excel in their roles."
