What is a Chief Technology Officer?

I have been a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the last decade. This is, in my biased opinion, the best job ever. When I ask the engineers on my team what they want to do in the future, they often say they want to be “CTO”. But when I ask them what it means to them to be “CTO”, and to explain what his/her daily missions are, they struggle to give me an answer. That’s why I decided to write this article to describe my vision of Technical Leadership and the role of CTO. Now, do you still really want to be CTO?
