Eric Schvimmer: The art of mentoring the next generation of engineers

Eric Schvimmer is the Executive Vice President of Technology and Chief Technology Officer at the Bloomberg Industry Group. He has been around the block, fighting to get engineers to the table for major decisions. He’s a technology leader with extensive experience overseeing product-focused engineering teams. From in-house expert to consultant for Fortune 100 companies and start-ups, he’s the executive you want to be.

His track record for building high-performing teams focused on collaboration and timely deliveries of meaningful solutions has established him as a respected engineering leader. His knack for taking advantage of technological changes has made him the mentor you want in your corner.

He wasn’t always on the path to becoming a CTO. When he started college, he wanted to be a meteorologist.

Where did his dream of being a weatherman end and the journey to becoming a technology executive begin?

In this episode of Wolfed, Schvimmer joins host Chris Cohen to discuss:

His career journey from studying meteorology to falling into an engineering role in the media industry, and eventually becoming the CTO of the Bloomberg Industry Group.
Why creating a “zone of safety” for engineers is critical for innovation.
The role mentorship plays in raising the next generation of engineering leaders.
How to stay curious by listening and responding to feedback.
