In the contemporary business environment, technology serves as the foundational element of any product-based company. And if you're steering a product-based company, you've probably wrestled with the question: "Do we need a CTO?". And if the answer is “We do”, then the follow up question would be “When?” or “Why?”. The role of a Chief Technology Officer has evolved significantly, transitioning from a purely technical position to one that is integral to business strategy and growth. However, the financial and logistical commitments associated with hiring a full-time CTO can be prohibitive for many organizations. But what if you could get the expertise without the full-time commitment? This is where the concept of CTO as a Service becomes invaluable.
