“RIGA COMM 2025” Women in Tech Conference / Aliona Sosunova-Piurko, Director of Engineering, Vinted
summary
Company launches Vinted in Latvia launched Vinted in Latvia two days ago and the engineering org reports that one leader without an engineering diploma now leads half of the engineering effort in the marketplace. Career moves come from fixing mental errors: learning to change decisions, treating emotional empathy as an asset (use emotions as superpower), delegating so work cascades from senior leaders to teams, and forcing values into the calendar. Practical takeaway: restructure priorities, delegate deliberately, and measure whether choices free or drain time.
