At Asapp, we are a startup and perhaps started platform as a shadow function in product engineering before we had a CIO :) However, with some growth, I moved out of product engineering to create an official platform engineering function. We are useful to our org and I think the reason is because we were organic. Initially it was about speed, with growth it’s more about standards. Oh and we report to the CTO.

Thanks for the response @Priya Sawant

Hi @Jed Gresham! I like what you are building at Oso! When I worked at Target, the Platform Engineering team reported to the CIO. However, They had Product Directors / Managers attached at the hip to deliver shared services across the company. They have a conference coming up, virtually, that's pretty cool! https://iccon.target.com/

Fancy meeting you here @Matthew Schillerstrom!!! Thanks, thats good info.
