:inside-line-management---emoji-white-backgorund: About Me - Emerey D’Sylva

After more than two decades in the technology industry — building products, leading teams, hiring talent, and navigating messy problems — I’ve learned that professional growth is rarely a straight line.

The good stuff? It usually comes from honest conversations, quiet reflection, and a willingness to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface.

That’s what I aim to offer now: grounded mentoring and training that meets people where they are, helps them identify where they need to be, and support to get there.

↪️ A Bit More About Me

📍 I live in the UK (South West London), with my family. I mostly grew up in New Zealand where my family emigrated from India — which means I bring a dry humour, a laid-back approach to most things and can appreciate the cultural gap between East and West.

🕵🏽‍♂️ I’ve spent much of my career in Testing and Quality Assurance, and more recently as an Engineering Manager. I have experience as a consultant and as an employee working across industries — from fast-paced digital agencies to complex InsureTech environments and online classifieds.

🧠 I was diagnosed with Inattentive Type ADHD as an adult and am navigating this, which helps me make sense of how I think, work, and relate to others. It’s part of what fuels my curiosity, compassion and motivation to help others

💥 I have experienced professional burnout and rejection first hand, and am open about my experiences

I bring the same values to both my mentoring and training: clarity, care, and realism.

If that sounds like what you need — whether you're navigating a career decision, stepping into leadership, or just feeling a bit stuck — I’d love to connect and have a chat: Book a chat online
