Our Coaches provide a combination of traditional executive and leadership coaching, and subject-specific mentoring and validation, using the wealth of their experience in CTO and Engineering Leadership roles to help you make decisions, reach new objectives, build skills and self-knowledge.
The traditional style of executive and leadership coaching is focused on drawing the best out of you, through building self-awareness, goal-setting and adding accountability. Coaching from a CTO Craft Coach adds to this with real-life experience – we’ve made the mistakes and earned the scars, and we can help you grow while helping you avoid the most common issues.
Through guided reflection with an experienced CTO, you’ll set goals, identify obstacles and behaviour patterns and work to change or improve them for the benefit of you and your business’ future.

The CTO Coaches at CTO Craft come from a wide range of backgrounds and industries, from startups to scale-ups, large organisations and SMEs alike. They’ve worked as CTOs in fintech, proptech, ecommerce, SaaS, regtech, government, charities, gaming and many more, with teams ranging from 15 to 300 and beyond. They have experience as co-founders, in seed-stage businesses, through raising investment from venture capital, private equity, have been through mergers and acquisitions on both ends, and have led teams through all stages and sizes.
CTO Craft matches you to the perfect Coach – we’ll arrange a time to meet or speak with you and learn about your situation and the problems you’re facing, how you like to learn and grow and the urgency of your needs. We’ll then recommend a Coach to you, and organise a meeting where you can understand the value they’ll add, and decide to continue working together.

71% increase in relationships with immediate supervisors;
67% increase in teamwork;
63% improvement in relationships with peers;
61% increase in job satisfaction;
44% increase in organisational commitment; and
37% improvement in relationships with clients.
