The rise of HI-ICs | Elena Verna (Lovable)

What if growing your career no longer meant managing a larger team? At the Lenny and Friends Summit, Elena Verna shares how her move from leading growth at Lovable to working as an individual contributor brought her back to building, with AI helping her take ideas from problem to launch. She argues that companies need to give experienced builders access to information, authority to make decisions, and pay that reflects their impact—so management can be a career choice rather than the default promotion.
