How has the evolution of the role of a CTO been over the past few years? What will be your advice for budding professionals in this domain?
The role of a CTO has evolved significantly over the past few years. In the past, the CTO was primarily responsible for managing the technology infrastructure of a company. However, as technology has become more important to businesses. My advice for aspiring technical leaders is to always be learning. Technology is constantly changing, and it's important to stay up to date on new developments in the industry. It's also important to be able to effectively communicate with non-technical stakeholders, such as sales and marketing teams. Being able to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical teams is a critical skill for any technical leader. Finally, it's important to have a vision for where you want to take your company and be able to articulate that vision to others. Having a clear vision and being able to communicate it effectively is essential for any leader, technical or otherwise.
