Overview
PlayStation's Systems Engineering & Integration department, formed in January 2026 when I merged an organisation I inherited from a Director with the integration part of my previous internal-tools organisation — covering platform services, protection systems and inventory systems.
Achievement
Lead the department as Senior Manager — a 13-person organisation plus contractors; two engineering managers report to me. I structured it into three product domains and am accountable product owner (business owner) across all three — technically five products with many components. I co-authored the domain-structure architecture decision.
Outcomes

Key Learning
Designing the organisation taught me that clean domain boundaries and explicit decision rights matter more than structural diagrams.
