You have just been promoted to manager.
Nobody taught you
how to do it.
Justine supports first-time managers in Tech — and those still wondering whether to take the leap — so they can step into their role with clarity and confidence.
Becoming a manager in Tech often means figuring it out as you go.
You are handed a team, a budget, responsibilities. And everyone expects you to naturally know how to motivate, delegate, give feedback, and make sense of it all.
You got a quick briefing. And if you ask questions, you worry about looking illegitimate in front of your peers or your own manager.
I have been there. And that is exactly why I created Hcode.
Even with a great manager, my impostor syndrome stopped me from asking questions. I wished I had someone neutral to help me step back and gain perspective.

Manager Programme
Manager Coaching
I spent 10 years in Tech, including several as a manager at Criteo. When I first stepped into a team lead role, I struggled with impostor syndrome. In a predominantly male environment, even with a great manager, I never dared to ask my questions.
I wish I had someone neutral to guide me. Today, that is exactly what I do for others.
Managers who dared to take the leap.
Coaching sessions with Justine helped me gain perspective on my day-to-day work.
Justine helped me a lot. She gave me tools I can use both in my personal and professional life.
This programme helped me strengthen my understanding of the management role, identify concrete levers for growth, and reflect on my own positioning. I particularly appreciated the interactive format, the practical cases and the group dynamic, which make the learnings very tangible.
