Technological #excellence isn’t just about delivering on product demands - it’s about understanding the business at its core and proactively offering tech solutions to overcome real-world challenges . In today’s complex landscape, it’s not enough to simply meet requirements. True #innovation happens when #tech teams think ahead, anticipate potential roadblocks, and design systems that are not only resilient but also ready to scale with the business. Whether it’s making an impact on users' lives, boosting revenue, safeguarding sensitive data, optimizing systems for peak performance, or envisioning future needs, a forward-thinking approach is key. @Neema - Better Than a Bank we’ve learned that the most impactful solutions come when technology works in harmony with business strategy. When we move beyond what is needed now to what will be needed next, we enable businesses to thrive in a constantly evolving world. Sounds interesting? WE ARE #HIRING tech leaders that want to make true impact, solve real pains of real people, tackle complexed technological #challenges and have fun in the process!

I recently connected with the CEO of a 258-employee firm that made a bad CTO hire. The impact was eye-watering: - 18-month delay in a key satellite project - $2.5M over budget on AI-driven predictive maintenance - 40% turnover in the engineering team in just 8 months - Lost a $50M government contract due to missed deadlines And that’s just scratching the surface. The scars ran deeper: - Eroded team morale and productivity - Tech strategy completely misaligned with business goals - Damaged reputation with key stakeholders The total impact - $75M in lost revenue and opportunities. The reality: When hiring a CTO, recruitment fees may seem steep. But when compared to the astronomical cost of a bad hire, the truth is clear: You can’t afford to get it wrong. Your CTO is more than just a tech hire. They’re a strategic partner who translates your vision into reality. In our industry, the right CTO is the difference between market leadership and playing catch-up.

What does a CTO do? A CTO, or Chief Technology Officer, is the head honcho for technology in a company. They wear two main hats: 1. Leading technological development The CTO figures out what tech the company needs to create or use to deliver its products and services. This involves staying on top of trends, making strategic investments, and overseeing research and development (R&D). 2. Leading the tech team: The CTO manages the company's IT departments, including data management and security. They're also responsible for building a strong tech team and fostering a culture of innovation. The CTO's role can vary depending on the size and focus of the company. In a startup, the CTO might be more hands-on with development, while in larger organisations, they might be more focused on strategy and leadership. In some companies, the CTO might also handle internal IT operations, especially in smaller businesses that don't have a separate CIO (Chief Information Officer). We can help you with all your staffing needs from entry level to c-suite.

💡 When Do You Realize You Need a CTO? A few months ago, I sat down with the founder of a growing company. They were doing everything right; scaling their business, attracting customers, and pushing boundaries. But the technology side? It was becoming chaotic. Their team was running into bottlenecks, their systems couldn’t keep up, and they weren’t sure where to invest next in tech. However, hiring a full-time CTO wasn’t an option just yet. Sound familiar? This is where a Virtual CTO can make a real difference. We step in to bridge the gap between ambition and execution. We don’t just manage technology; we craft a strategy aligned with your business goals. 🔍 Here’s how we help: 1) We start by understanding your business, challenges, goals, and growth potential. 2) Then, we create a clear roadmap for your tech infrastructure, choosing solutions that fit your budget and future needs. 3) We guide your team, ensuring they have the right tools, systems, and support to drive growth. 4) Finally, we closely monitor your security and compliance, so you’re always a step ahead of risks. Technology shouldn’t be overwhelming, it should empower. If you’re feeling that gap, maybe it’s time to bring in someone who can turn tech challenges into opportunities. 👨💼 As Virtual CTOs, We’ve seen how the right strategy can unlock a company’s potential. If this resonates with where you’re at, let’s talk. [Business Growth, Tech Leadership, Scalable Solutions, Digital Transformation, Business Tech, Tech Strategy]

Most companies get this wrong when hiring a CTO: They hire highly technical, perhaps even world leading experts in their narrow field of technology, instead of hiring as CTO a business strategist with technical expertise in that industry: e.g. a CTO who is known for delivering wearables, or SaaS platforms, or one who knows semiconductors or consumer products. I'll explain: The CTO sets the direction for the technical strategy to achieve the business strategy. If you hire a CTO that's a world leader in X technology, they're likely hyper focused on that, but have no strategic view of how this technology can serve the business. A strategic CTO can always hire subject matter experts (and give them fancy titles like Chief Science Officer or Chief Nanoparticles Engineer, or Chief Robotics Engineer) and harness their exceptional technical talent for the company's technology strategy. Instead, companies hire a highly technical CTO and then are disappointed when this technical expert is not strategic. This technical expert became an expert because they focused their life's work on this technology. They didn't focus their life's work on business tech strategy in your industry. You need a CTO who understands business AND technology. To put it bluntly: Someone who understand how to harness technology to make money. Otherwise, you'll find yourself spending incredible amounts of money on doing engineering work (as well as pet projects) which are not strategic, and therefore are not focused on bringing real value to the business. Challenge me if you think I'm mistaken. I'm absolutely open for debate! Now... the current market gets this point more than ever and this is part of the reason so many people struggle to secure a CTO role - because the bar is much higher as there are not as many CTO roles. The ones who secure a CTO role now know how position themselves as an executive minded CTO who can deliver business goals with their technical and business expertise in a particular industry. What kind of CTO should companies be recruiting in your view? I will be running in Sept a webinar on how to land a CTO role in a tough job market. It will only have 25 places available.

Do you know the term “Fractional Connectivity Officer”? No 🤔 Then you might be missing out! A fractional hire is someone who brings specific expertise to your organization without the full-time commitment, giving you the benefit of high-level skills exactly when and where you need them. But Connectivity Officer? That one arose from the feedback I’ve received from clients about the difference I’ve made for them. Working with both startups and corporates in the biotech and life science space, the core need has been the same: someone who can connect the dots - across strategy, execution, and team dynamics. Someone who understands the unique challenges of these industries and helps build the structures and processes to solve them, while ensuring the team is aligned and connected. Perhaps you’ve already got one in your team, but if not - fractional might be the way to go. So how does it work? I join a company typically 2-3 days a week, for a fixed time period, as an equal member of the team. My responsibilities range from: ✅ Hands-on development of business models and PoC development plans that support commercial value propositions ✅ Strengthening project management structures for product development or innovation processes ✅ Aligning cross-functional teams to ensure strategic goals translate into actionable execution - daring to have the real conversations in the process ✅ Acting as a sparring partner for leadership, helping navigate complexity with a clear, results-driven approach The advantage? Deep biotech and life science expertise combined with the perspective of an external advisor who is still truly part of your team. Doubting the “part of the team” part? No need, it’s part of my personality to engage deeply 👍 If your company could use an experienced guide to bring clarity, connection and execution to your projects, let’s talk. Sometimes all it takes is some months of the right support to make a strong impact 🌱 #fractional #connectivity #sammenhængskraft #biotech

Technology Transformation - Who Should You Be Hiring If there is one constant in business today, it’s that technology will continue to evolve rapidly. For evidence, look at your workplace and remember how it was just a few years ago. Technology transformation is apart of every major business process, from product manufacturing to administrative functions like HR and finance. But when you think you are caught up, new tech emerges, and your industry is reshaped yet again. If your company doesn’t keep up with the latest trends, you risk falling behind your competitors. However, investing in new systems and apps alone won’t keep your company up-to-date. You also need qualified talent to lead you through the latest wave of technology transformation. #securityindustry #hiringtips #staffingservices #recruitmentpartner
