As a new manager, the transition into a leadership role can be both exciting and overwhelming.

This roundtable discussion will provide an opportunity for you to connect with and learn from your peers who are also in the early stages of their management careers. This discussion will be led by Francisco Trindade, Director of Engineering @ Braze, and will serve as a space for new managers (or those looking to becoming managers) to share experiences, ask questions, and exchange ideas on how to effectively lead and support your teams.

This roundtable discussion is also a great opportunity to build your network and gain valuable insights into being a good EM.
