See it clearly.
Solve it properly.

I work with engineering leaders and organisations who want to move with more clarity, confidence, and impact — not by imposing frameworks, but by understanding what's actually happening and designing what comes next.

About Emma

Engineering leader.
Coach. Pragmatist.

I came into engineering leadership through design and front-end development — which means I've always thought about systems and people at the same time. Over 10+ years at Booking.com, Marktplaats/Adevinta, and high-growth start-ups, I've led multi-team domains at scale, navigated M&A, and built engineering cultures where experimentation and reliable delivery coexist.

Cattico is the practice I built to share what I've learned — with the leaders who need it most.
