Structure: organizing the office of the CTO
When the technical leadership function has no clear shape, decisions stall and everything routes through a few people. I organize the office of the CTO: who decides what, how priorities are set, how architecture decisions get made and recorded, and how engineering reports to the rest of the business. You get an operating rhythm that runs without me, and that your metrics can plug into.
