Peter Slight
Co-Founder @ Govix
About
I've spent 25 years building products and the engineering teams that deliver them, from a 12-person team serving half a billion pages a month in the early days of social networks, to leading product engineering at scale-up and growth-stage companies. I'm a technical leader who still thinks like an engineer. I care about the quality of decisions as much as the quality of code, and I believe the best outcomes come from aligned teams with genuine psychological safety and not process for its own sake! Most recently I was VP of Engineering at Trint, where I led a team spanning engineering, data science and data functions. We shifted the company's dependence on third-party ASR by investing in proprietary speech recognition built for news and media organisations that care deeply about _who_ said _what_, and _when_. We introduced a unified collaborative editor using CRDT enabling real-time cross-device editing used by some of the world's largest newsrooms, rebuilt the mobile product to transcribe reliably even in zero-connectivity environments, and the team reached elite DORA performance while navigating significant technical and organisational change. I oversaw two patent applications, four years of R&D claims, and participated in investment and acquisition due diligence conversation on technology and innovation strategy. I'm now co-founder of Govix, a technology company building on AI. We build tools that make data trustworthy, processed against verified knowledge: improved, returned and auditable. I also run Sonic Trio, a consultancy founded in 2011. Clients have included Guardian News Media, Unicef, HarperCollins, Just Eat, Tesco and Kantar. I occasionally take on short advisory engagements where I can genuinely add value. If your reading list includes Accelerate, Inspired, Radical Candor or Drive — we're probably thinking about the same problems.
