Datamellon × Ignite London CTO Hangout

Ignite London and Datamellon are excited to collaborate at the monthly founders meetup at Ignite London. This time we're turning the focus to the CTO side - the builders and lead engineers working days and nights behind the scenes. Now more than ever, tech leaders need to understand business outcomes and deliver software that is scalable, secure and trusted. So this evening is about the real challenges CTOs are facing - and about what's keeping you up at night. The best conversations about what comes next aren't happening on stage - they're happening around the table. The Datamellon CTO Hangout: London brings together CTOs, engineering leaders, technical founders and technology executives for an evening of candid conversations, practical insights and meaningful connections. --- What's On 🍕 18:00 - Doors open, pizza and drinks 👋 18:45 - Welcome from Datamellon and Ignite London 🎙️ 19:00 - Panel: how CTOs build for and sell to large enterprises, and how to scale a team from zero - with Danit Nativ Navon (Meta), Maria Malykh (Founder & CTO, TaxNova) and Ivan Scattergood (CTO & Co-Founder, OctaiPipe), plus audience Q&A 🪑 19:50 - CTO round table with Steve Skinner (Datamellon): AI and compliance at large enterprises - 30 minutes over pizza at the round table 🍻 20:20 - Drinks and networking 21:00 - Doors close --- Whether you're a founder building the technical foundation for your next stage, a CTO scaling teams and platforms, or an engineering leader navigating growth and change, you'll swap notes with peers facing the same decisions - and leave with new perspectives, new connections and ideas to take back to your organisation.
