Scaling Fast, Dressing Smart: Engineering Lessons from Rent the Runway

What do you get when a fashion disruptor scales into a tech-first logistics machine? A story about pivoting through a pandemic, building globally distributed teams, and making engineering culture fit for the runway.

SVP of Engineering Becky Case and VP Engineering Ronan Conlon from Rent the Runway join David at Dublin Tech Summit to talk leadership, culture, and the realities behind scaling a business that blends tech, logistics, and luxury fashion. From launching a Galway engineering hub just before COVID, to avoiding the temptation of hypergrowth, Becky and Ronan share the backstage view on building with intent—and what it takes to preserve creativity and collaboration when you’re growing fast.
