Case details
Transitioning into the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) presents a unique blend of opportunities and challenges. The first 100 days are critical in establishing leadership, setting strategic direction, and building trust with both technical teams and business stakeholders. This period demands a deep understanding of the organization’s technology landscape, its alignment with business objectives, and areas for innovation or improvement. In this reflective piece, I share key insights and lessons learned from my first 100 days as CTO, covering topics such as evaluating technical debt, fostering a culture of collaboration and accountability, defining a long-term technology vision, and managing the delicate balance between short-term demands and long-term growth. By leveraging early wins, building strong relationships, and setting the foundation for scalable success, these initial days offer a roadmap for effective technology leadership.
