Structured CTO training

Mastering technology is hard.
Leading people is harder.

Many grow into leadership roles – but not into true leadership.
They prioritize features – but not clarity.
They manage tickets – but not expectations.
They speak – but don’t create impact.

Our CTO training is for those who don’t just want to understand how systems scale – but how they themselves can remain scalable as leaders.

Typical situations before CTO training

  • You’re a tech lead – but your influence ends at the Kanban board
  • You’re becoming a CTO – but feel like a contributor with a new title
  • You make decisions – but without backing or clarity
  • You’re growing into chaos – without a compass, without a method
  • You lead a team – but don’t develop yourself further

What CTO training achieves

You communicate with impact – to CEO, team & customers

You separate operational chaos from strategic leadership

You prioritize with clarity – instead of juggling everything at once

You lead effectively even without formal authority – with structure & presence

You become visible – and impactful – as a true leader

more than tech

Philipp is the kind of leader who believes in getting the job done right - and he has the technical savvy and strategic insight to make it happen. His approach to technology and leadership isn't just about finding a solution; it's about finding the most efficient and innovative way forward. He's a champion for growth and accountability, consistently inspiring his teams to reach new heights.

There is no black and white with him, he respects the grey and and they change of matters and can find creative approaches for ambiguity. I would call this a true leadership skill for future-oriented organisational development.
