The Motivations

My motivations behind thinking about writing this book

🚀 After years of working as a CTO, I realized something was missing: Where’s the guide for CTOs? 🤔

We have books on management, leadership, even cooking—but when it comes to one of the most critical roles in tech? There’s almost nothing. And in today’s fast-moving, AI-driven world, the role of the CTO is more crucial than ever before.

That’s why I’m thrilled to announce this book: The CTO’s Handbook: Navigating Leadership and Technology in the Modern Enterprise

This book isn’t your typical technical manual or leadership primer. It’s an open-source guide—a living, evolving resource designed to help current and future CTOs navigate their journey through the constantly shifting landscape of technology leadership.

And here’s the best part: it’s free.

This isn’t about making money or building a personal brand. It’s about sharing the knowledge and insights I’ve gained over the years in a way that helps others on their path to becoming exceptional tech leaders.

Why Write This Book?

Let’s face it—there’s no school for CTOs. Even in the most prestigious MBA programs, the curriculum focuses heavily on grooming future CEOs, CFOs, and COOs. But where’s the support for the next generation of technology leaders?

The CTO’s job is critical, especially in today’s era of AI, digital transformation, and relentless innovation. We are living in a time where technology isn’t just a support function—it is a key driver of business success.

I’ve written this book to fill that gap. I want to share the insights, strategies, and real-world experiences I wish I had when I first became a CTO. This handbook is designed for CTOs, tech leads, and aspiring technology leaders who want to make a real impact.
