Too many CTOs have no idea what makes them valuable to a company
99% CEOs couldn’t care less about your GirHub portfolio…
And you don’t want to work for the ones who do, because their company will likely go bust!
How can a company CEO think your world class expertise in MongoDB database architecture is valuable to the business when they have no idea what MongoDB is or what it means?!
What the CEO cares about is how is MongoDB helping the company make money.
An executive CTO understands this and never talks about MongoDB type stuff, she talks about how she increased the profit margins or how she sped delivery to match customer demand.
Too many CTOs undersell themselves to CEOs and in this tough market, they are often the ones left without a permanent role.
If you interested to future proof your CTO career, I’m starting 3 cohorts for aspiring, ambitious and accomplished CTOs who want to crack this nut.
