Let’s build a peer-driven community for CTOs and senior technologists to learn from each other, pressure-test ideas, and stay ahead of emerging risks and opportunities.

CTO Hub Delegate

Tom Williams

Founder of Stratify AI

“Leadership teams often feel real pressure to move on AI. Not because they lack ideas, but because they are trying to balance speed, risk, and accountability in environments that were not built for it. What I kept seeing was the same pattern: AI initiatives do not stall due to lack of ambition.
They stall because foundations, ownership, and governance were not sequenced early, and no one had a decision-ready view of readiness.”

Events

In our upcoming events we are looking to explore:

  • Role evolution: CTO vs Head of Engineering

  • Translating tech decisions into business impact

  • AI strategy vs AI experimentation

  • Architecture decisions that scale (and those that don’t)

  • Security and risk governance for modern tech orgs

  • Hiring, retention, and engineering culture

What to expect

  • Closed Sessions under Chatham House Rule

  • Monthly Meetings (60–90 mins)

  • Topic framing, peer dialogue, and key takeaways

  • Confidential, experiential, and highly actionable
