About 7CTOs
We know what it feels like to face the high-stakes pressures of being a CTO.
If you’re like us, you’ve felt the pain and triumphs as you scale startups, navigate the complexities of larger enterprises, put out daily fires, and lead your teams while maintaining a delicate balance in your relationships with the CEO and other key stakeholders.
Your days are often a whirlwind of strategic decision-making, problem-solving, and continuous learning. From the moment you wake up until you turn off your devices at night, you’re immersed in technical challenges, leadership responsibilities, and high-stakes business interactions.
You’ve probably wondered whether your decisions truly create the impact that your teams and organization need to thrive in a competitive market while feeling somewhat challenged and isolated at the top.
At 7CTOs, we get it.
You shouldn’t have to carry the weight of all the solutions on your shoulders.
What if we told you this isn’t the case?
As leaders, we’ve all been conditioned to believe we must have all the answers.
Your role should empower you, not overwhelm you.
You deserve the support of a community, along with access to peer support, guidance, relevant resources, and executive training from experienced tech leaders who have been in your shoes, enabling you to achieve your role successfully.
After two decades of leading companies to success, seasoned CTO Etienne de Bruin noticed a critical gap—CTOs lacked a support system or roadmap for their unique challenges. Drawing from his own experiences, he founded 7CTOs to provide tech leaders with the community and coaching they need to solve problems, deliver results, drive lasting impact and thrive.
