Work
More than twenty years building and leading consumer technology across the UK, Europe and the GCC. This record covers every role from founder and software engineer to Chief Technology & Product Officer; the about page adds the personal context behind the career.
From hands-on engineering to accountable executive leadership
Ciprian Spiridon’s career began with building software and companies directly, then expanded into creating engineering functions, leading regional platforms and owning technology and product at executive level.
Across consumer e-commerce, automotive marketplaces, loyalty and enterprise SaaS, the recurring work has been the same: make a complex system understandable, give teams clear ownership and modernize the platform without losing the operating business.
Today that extends to AI-native organizations, where agents increase delivery capacity inside explicit policies, review gates and human accountability. The technology changes; responsibility does not.
Executive and senior leadership roles
Boards and mentoring
Alongside operating roles, Ciprian has advised founders and boards and mentored engineering and product leaders across the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Earlier engineering career, 2005–2015
Before executive leadership, the work moved from founding a design business in Romania to software engineering, architecture and engineering management roles in London.
