Matteo Merola(he/him)
Engineering Manager
I lead engineering teams at IKEA's main franchisee, Ingka.
I run SaaS Koala, a company creating products that help people and businesses succeed. Products like ZenLeadr, the toolkit designed for engineering managers and leaders.
Previously, I was an Engineering Manager at Shell, where I was leading 40+ engineers building the operating system for the trade and supply business. I was also a tech lead at KLM, working on turning airline operations into a competitive advantage (watch ↗).
In my 9+ years of experience I've started a digital company, led the development team in an edutech startup (corsi.it), collaborated with many companies in areas such as fintech (bunq) and greentech (cleopa).
I write Open Source software at github.com/mattmezza and I blog every once in a while.
