As a CTO, you are responsible for leading the technological advancements of an organization and ensuring its digital transformation. This blog will guide you through the essential steps and skills you need to become a successful CTO, with a focus on completing the digital transformation task efficiently and cost-effectively.

It’s important to stay updated with the latest industry trends and advancements to make informed technology-related decisions.

This involves understanding the business goals, identifying growth opportunities, and aligning technology initiatives with the overall business strategy.
