• The Stressful Leap from Engineer to CTO

  Transitioning from engineer to CTO presents challenges highlighted in the personal journey of Dragan, a skilled software developer turned CTO. Dragan faced a steep learning curve, isolation from team dynamics, and the shift from hands-on coding to strategic planning. This experience resonates with other CTOs, such as Shekhar Gulati and Vadim Kravcenko, who emphasize the challenging, lonely nature of the role. Key skills for a CTO include leadership, business acumen, risk management, and a passion for technology. While the role demands sacrifices, it offers the reward of shaping a company's vision and culture.
