Confluent Champion Scales Solutions Engineering in EMEA

Leandro Galli, a Senior Solutions Engineer at Confluent, describes his career from beginning programming in Brazil at age 12 through nearly two decades in telecommunications, international consulting based in Spain, and his eventual move to Confluent in 2020 after seeing Apache Kafka’s growing impact on customers. Initially the sole solutions engineer supporting fast-growing digital-native companies across EMEA, he helped during a period of rapid team expansion before relocating to Dubai in 2022 to work with larger enterprise customers in the Middle East. His role centers on assessing data-streaming needs, supporting customer implementations such as real-time fraud detection and architecture modernization, and collaborating with marketing, partners, product managers, and engineers. Galli attributes his interest in Confluent to its data-streaming technology, its potential to help businesses beyond telecommunications, and its people, while describing the company culture as collaborative and guided by values of humility, empathy, and learning. He also identifies a scholarship that enabled him to study in France as a pivotal career decision, leading to international experience, multilingual skills, and work across multicultural teams in Europe and the Middle East.
