About Us

CTO Craft was launched by Andy Skipper, ex CTO at Made.com and Comic Relief, and a number of other experienced Technology Leaders and Coaches in 2017 to provide coaching, mentoring and learning services to first-time technology leaders, CTOs and tech team leads, and help them achieve their business and technology objectives.

Who are we?

Whatever your experience level, making the move from building software to leading a team can be a delicate process. How do you learn the skills needed to build and motivate a team of engineers? What does success look like? And how do you ensure the triumphs of your team lead to triumphs for your business?

We bring together established startup CTOs from around the world, willing to share their knowledge and experience via mentoring groups, coaching sessions, workshops, events and much more. Whether you’re a new tech lead, engineering manager, head of development or a fellow CTO, our community can help make the transition to a great leader as straightforward and as successful as possible.
