How to become a CTO in under 3 years – 5 practical ways!

This course is for ambitious engineers, developers, programmers who want to become a CTO.

By doing this course you will have a minimum of 5 easy to implement actions you can take today to move your career towards becoming a CTO within 3 years.

This course will answer (with practical actions you can take) the key questions:

• how do I transition from engineer to CTO in under 3 years?

• how do I become a CTO founder in a company?

• how do I work my way up to becoming a CTO in a company?

Many engineers want to become CTO, but most of the advice online is confusing, unrealistic, untested, with no practical steps you can take today or it requires a long term plan that can take 7+ years.

This course is based on the hundreds of real CTOs (in companies from 10-100,000 staff) I have advised in the last 13 years and talking to them about their backgrounds and how they became a CTO.

No other course on Udemy gives you kind level of practical details on how to become a CTO that you can start implementing today.

During this course:

• You will have 5 videos of me each describing a different way you can become CTO in under 3 years

• You will get clear actions you can take at the end of each video that will take you 5-10 min max but can accelerate your transition to CTO

• Hear from the former Confused,com CTO on how he transitioned from engineer to CTO

• Hear from ProWritingAid CTO how he transitioned from engineer to being CTO in a company of 50 staff in under 3 years.

In my business, I advise CTOs, VP/Heads/Directors of Engineering on how to become successful in their roles.

I have hundreds of LinkedIn and Google recommendations for my work with  CTOs and engineers in companies as small as 10 and as big as 100,000 staff.

Here are some of the testimonials I have received from CTOs and other engineering leaders:

Adelina helped mesecure significant development budget for a breakthrough product range from ahighly commercial focused board. Ihad previously tried over a number of months to get the innovation approved, but only whenI changed the approach to Adelina’s recommendation, I was able to shift the mind-set of the board andget them to buy into the vision and support the development.”

Tim Moore, former CTO at Shark Ninja and GHD

As a relativelynew VPE I’ve found it challenging to make the IC (individual contributor) transition at times and tofeel confident that I’m adding value. However, Adelina’s help, guidance and insight have been invaluable and allachieved within one week! I feel invigorated again with the role and looking forward to moving forward with the plans set out.”

Rich Reeves, VP Engineering, Netwealth

Straight-shooting and not prone to waffle or exaggerate,Adelina immediately added value that helped me get what I needed, bringing herdeep yet varied industry experience to bear. What is clear to me is thatAdelina helps her clients with specific tactics and strategy needed. I am grateful for her support and highly recommend her services.
