Strengthening the Engineering Culture / The Distinguished Engineer Program

Jelena Laketić, Distinguished Engineer, Thomson Reuters
I joined Thomson Reuters in March 2022 as their first Distinguished Engineer (DE). This gave me an opportunity to define my role and create a Distinguished Engineer program. The program was launched in May 2022.
In my talk, I will share the details about the program, the core concept, and my experience creating and launching it.
At its core, the program is focused on strengthening the engineering culture. Therefore I will also touch upon the importance of a strong engineering culture in the corporate setup.
