Linda recommends these important points to hire the right CTO:
- Hire a technical consultant to guide you in assessing the key abilities in the person you want to hire.
- Hire a CTO that has a very strong engineering background, that they understand the “full stack” they are working with and not reliant on the people around them to get by on certain elements.
- Look at their past work experience and how successful those organisations have been.
- Examine how large their network is.
- Examine their work philosophy.
- Look for great communication skills.
- Make sure they understand the ever-changing technology world.
