Comment on Ask HN: What Is a COO?parent

Comments

Yeah sorry, I meant this of course in the context of a tech organization.

As a CTO you will spend time preparing board meetings, OKR discussions, be part of strategy offsites, handle audits, have stakeholder meetings (CPO, COO, HR), have a part in Allhands, talk to vendors and business partners and of course handle all internal crisises that are escalated to you.

It's definitely a more messy and political work environment that you should take into account when leaving the IC track.
