Case Study: Vendasta accelerates engineering leadership growth with Plato

Vendasta - Customer Case Study

Vendasta, a rapidly growing SaaS company serving local businesses through a white-label digital solutions platform, needed support as its engineering organization scaled from a few teams to 17 software teams. As VP of Engineering Craig Kumick navigated leadership changes, hiring, and the shift from developer to manager, the team wanted a way to bounce ideas, strengthen leadership skills, and keep pace with new challenges.

Plato provided Vendasta with regular 1:1 mentoring conversations, helping leaders think through topics like IC leveling, management skills, and communication. The result was faster ramp-up on new challenges and better preparation for leadership transitions; Vendasta also reported that Plato helped them avoid delays they likely would have faced without outside coaching.
