���What are you going to do once I���ve joined?��� is what a candidate asked me when I hired a VP Engineering. As CTO, I couldn���t give my team the attention they needed, being many timezones away from most of them.

That question worried me, because I didn���t have a good answer. I said so in the interview, but kept ruminating on it. What does a CTO really do?

That���s the same question many of my clients are facing as the company grows around them, and the needs of the business and your team...
