What should you expect from a Chief Technology Officer?

A CTO will typically be someone with 10-15 or more years experience in technology. Ideally a CTO will have owned and run a business and have 5 years or more experience in an executive technology planning capacity. A CTO’s business experience is every bit as important as their technology experience and will be invaluable in helping you make critical business decisions.

Most small and medium size businesses don’t have the resources or the need to hire a full time CTO. However it is vital for many of them that they have the opportunity to consult regularly with a senior technology manager who understands the big picture for their business and their technology. ACS has on staff several CTO level executives who have collectively managed the technology for scores of businesses including: hedge funds, venture funds, biotech, non-profits, general business, law firms, accounting firms, PR & marketing firms, property management companies, medical device manufacturers, start ups of various kinds and just about every other vertical in the small and medium sized business world.
