About Ken

I'm Ken Corey — a senior technology leader based in the UK with decades of experience building software and leading teams.

I'm co-authoring Bad Bosses Ruin Lives with Step It Up HR. Our research found that 99.5% of survey respondents said they've had one or more types of bad bosses. There's a mismatch here, and our book helps explain why — and what you can do about it as a manager.

I'm always open to new roles and conversations. My CV is here, or reach me on LinkedIn.
