CTO for Dummies
newsletter #11
First of all – what exactly is a CTO and how does it leverage any business?
When we think about executive-level, commonly known as “C-level”, managers within a company we often tend to focus on the roles that are more so focused on the financial and operational aspect of the company, so much so that these are the ones with the most visibility in society.

The Global CTO Survey
The survey conducted by STXNext dives deep into several aspects of the CTO’s job, from tech stack choices through hiring tactics to their investment in self-development, for which, many CTOs decided to share their experiences. This allowed them to prepare a report that is representative and informative: the very first edition of their Global CTO Survey. Use it to inform your choices in the coming months.
