Day 1, 17:20

Tame Your CTO (& Let Yourself Be Tamed)

Engineer, let's step into the shoes … of your CTO. We'll find out what CTOs do, how to become one, but also: how do they make decisions and evaluate performance, what are the traits they search for in devfolk, why deadlines are so important (or not) & how to communicate with CTO effectively. This is a session for both people who are intensively thinking about their future career ("CTO? Why not?") and those curious about secrets of high-performing organisations. It will be lead by hosts of CTO Morning Coffee, three industry veterans scarred for life with former leadership experience in companies i.a. Revolut, Amazon, and Microsoft.

About DevConf

From the very beginning we've been focused on people, not on companies. Being developers ourselves we thrive to provide the ultimate experience that will be remembered. We'd like to connect awesome speakers with the willing-to-learn-and-share community. It's not only about sessions - it's also about meeting with like-minded people - it can result in great ideas, is that right?
