Today we’re talking to Eric Weiss, Executive Coach and Founder of Full Cycle Executive Coaching; and we discuss Eric’s CTO Maturity Model – a guide for where you’re at in your career as a CTO, and how to stay close to your customers to make sure you’re building the right things.
All of this right here, right now, on the ModernCTO Podcast!
I’ve been obsessed with technology since I was a child. Back in the ’80s, I used to tear apart my dad’s old 486 PC so I could play video games. I was a hacker during my rebellious teen years. In high school, I worked at an internet service provider and helped build the internet in my city. In college, I performed research at a high-performance super-computing lab. I’ve spent the last fifteen years developing software products from every angle. I’ve been a developer, systems architect, project manager, product manager, consultant, and Chief Technology Officer. I LOVE this stuff.
As a product manager, I helped build and launch the Sony Playstation 3. I spent ten years building analytics platforms driving Qualcomm’s $9 billion technology licensing business. I spent five years as CTO of a technology company, driving product strategy through data collection, analysis, and experimentation.
