Roundtable: Scaling High-Performance Engineering Organizations: Talent Reviews and Team Health

Continuing the Scaling High-Performance Orgs conversation

Hosted by Abraham Velazquez, Engineering Leader at Dropbox

Your systems may scale — but can your team? As orgs grow, the toughest challenges aren’t technical. This session dives into how Talent Reviews help you stay ahead of people issues before they slow execution.

In this roundtable, we’ll discuss how to:

1. Gain visibility into talent density across teams
2. Identify and support critical talent
3. Recognize skill or leadership gaps before they become bottlenecks
4. Use talent data to inform org design, succession planning, and career growth opportunities
