About 7CTOs:
What happens when a fully engaged CTO combines with the seasoned experience of an Executive Coach?
This is exactly what happened in 2013 when 7CTOs was formed by Etienne de Bruin and Michael Saul. After more than two years spent meeting 300+ CTOs in four cities across the United States, it was clear there was an urgent need for CTO leadership training in technology strategy and execution to transcend their silos, and form close-knit communities of their peers and mentors.
Our singular focus is to build the world’s best Chief Technology Officers. We do this through building close-knit communities of CTOs in cities across the USA.
We’ve all been there, needing help, searching online trying to talk to people who don’t understand. It’s painful.
We wanted a place where we could build meaningful relationships with peers to celebrate success, work through difficult problems and build a vision for the future.
Our community is built on solid principles and a mission to Elevate the next generation of technology leaders.
We invite you to apply to Elevate, experience what we are all about during the application process and get plugged in today!
