Founding Principal

Jędrzej Tabaczyński.

Nineteen years inside engineering organisations. Fortune 200 logistics. Global pharma. A healthcare marketplace through hypergrowth. This practice is what I learned, distilled.

I build engineering organisations that produce business outcomes, not ones that just ship code. The focus is the small set of decisions that compound: architecture that doubles as your forcing function, team shape that absorbs shocks, rituals that push decisions to where the information actually lives.

Vons Consulting is where I do that work now. Two to six clients a year, by introduction.

By the numbers

A career, briefly.

A useful shorthand. The full timeline is below.

Where the frameworks were earned.

Each chapter shaped a part of the practice. The bigger lessons came from when things were difficult, not when they were easy.

2021-2024
ShiftKey
Engineering leadership · Healthcare marketplace · $2B valuation

Scaled the engineering organisation through hyper-growth from 20 to 100 engineers. Built the systems for sustainable delivery at speed, distributed decisions, written contracts, validation built into architecture.

2017-2021
Roche
Engineering leadership · Global pharmaceutical

Inside one of the world's largest healthcare organisations. Enterprise complexity, regulatory weight, global coordination. Where the patience was learned.

2012-2017
CH Robinson
Technology leadership · Fortune 200 logistics

Technology at one of the world's largest logistics platforms. Where I learned how very large systems actually behave under sustained load, and what makes them quiet.

2007-2012
Ergo Digital · earlier
Engineering · enterprise transformation

The first decade. Where I saw enough that nothing surprises me now, and learned to ask the question others were avoiding.

"The reason we are hired is rarely the reason we are kept. We come in for an architectural answer; we earn the next year by being the person the founder calls before the email goes out."
