Hello and welcome to Cloud Platform Engineering London! This meetup brings together platform engineers, cloud architects, SREs, engineering managers, and practitioners working on the systems, culture, and tooling behind modern engineering organisations. A huge thank you to Experis for hosting and sponsoring this event. **Speakers and sessions:** **Refactoring Team Culture** Brittany Woods, Head of Systems Infrastructure, Man Group Improving the culture and experience of DevOps teams is not about adding more tools or piling on new processes. It is about creating the conditions where people can thrive. When engineers feel empowered, supported, and trusted, they deliver not just code but lasting impact for the business.

In this session, Brittany will explore practical approaches and best practices for building healthier, more effective DevOps cultures. Drawing on real-world experience leading platform, governance, and engineering teams, she will share strategies for fostering autonomy without chaos, encouraging collaboration without micromanagement, and aligning technical teams with business outcomes. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas they can start applying immediately, from creating internal communities that inspire innovation, to building platforms teams actually want to use, to rethinking leadership habits that may be unintentionally holding people back.

With a career spanning technical and leadership roles across the financial and e-commerce sectors, she has been a passionate advocate for DevOps both within the organisations she has served and the broader tech community. Brittany has led initiatives to enhance developer experience, establish and scale platform engineering functions, and foster innovation, with a strong emphasis on improving organis
