Founder of INDIGO Diversity Consulting, helping tech teams fix broken decision-making systems.

Magdalena Szumna helps technical teams fix broken communication frameworks. Running INDIGO Diversity Consulting, she guides engineering groups through complex collaboration challenges. Her client roster includes Microsoft, ASML, and McKinsey.

Rather than blaming individuals for missed warnings, she treats team dynamics as a structural architecture problem. In her talk on engineering decision-making, Magdalena breaks down why competent groups ignore critical technical signals and how typical agile rituals penalize asynchronous development.

Based in Amsterdam, she also teaches intercultural competence at the academic level.
