Expanding CTO Mandate
A smooth transition for a CTO whose mandate is expanding.
Growth, an acquisition or a new product line can quickly multiply what a CTO is responsible for. I work alongside the CTO as a sounding board and a second set of hands, so the larger role lands smoothly.
What the engagement covers.
Support is shaped to the areas that are new to the CTO, from organization design to the board room.
- Organization design and spans of control for a larger group
- Hiring and coaching the layer of leaders the CTO now needs
- A planning cadence that scales across annual, quarterly and sprint cycles
- Taking on new areas such as data, security or platform
- Managing a wider set of stakeholders, from product and finance to the board
- Integrating acquired teams, products and platforms

Whether it's a team that has slowed down, an AI plan that needs direction or a board asking hard questions, it starts with a conversation.
