Interview with Karen Cohen, Engineering Manager and Product Architect at Wix.com

May 13, 2019 Leave a Comment

Location: Tel Aviv, Israel
Current Role: Engineering Manager and Product Architect at Wix.com

What’s your background and how did you get into management?

My first encounter with management was at age 21, working as an officer and software developer in the Israeli army. I led a team of developers who worked on multiple applications I had little to no knowledge about. To lead the team well, I had to find ways to provide value and gain their trust despite not being an expert in their focus areas.
