Scaling Under Fire: Leading Teams from Startup Growth to the SVB Crisis

From 2006 intern to Director of Data and Analutics at Curology, Justin Kunder's 20-year career has been a literal stress test of the modern tech stack. This session traces his journey through full-stack engineering, a browser-level patent in product, and leading the Enterprise Analytics Center of Excellence at Silicon Valley Bank during the historic 2023 collapse. 

Justin moves beyond the "how-to" of coding to the "why" of leadership, sharing candid lessons on managing teams through extreme volatility and the First Citizens acquisition. He concludes with a visionary look at his current work at Curology, demonstrating how AI is shifting the paradigm from "data janitors" to "innovation architects."
