You know that feeling when you’re constantly putting out tech fires instead of driving innovation?
I’ve seen it too often brilliant tech minds with the vision to lead digital transformation stuck in execution-only roles, buried in code reviews and feature rollouts, with little influence on strategy or company direction.
Maybe you’re the unofficial tech lead guiding engineers, reviewing architecture, fixing bugs, and shipping products but you’re still not part of the strategic leadership. You crave the opportunity to shape the roadmap, not just deliver it.
Now imagine stepping into a role where you don’t just lead the tech you shape the future. Where your voice is crucial in boardroom decisions. Where you architect systems and business outcomes.
