FEEDBACK FROM CIRCLE MEMBERS

We love hearing from our Community and Circle members - see how CTO Craft has
helped them below

CLAIRE DONALD, VP ENGINEERING AT MOO.COM

 * 
 * 

"Being part of a Mentoring Circle has been a very valuable learning experience.
I'm able to connect with other leaders outside of my own industry, where we can
share knowledge and give advice on our own individual challenges"

JON TOPPER, CTO AT THE SCALE FACTORY

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"The Mentoring Circle was extremely valuable - it was useful to be able to talk
openly about our challenges, gain insights and new perspectives from other
attendees, and to learn new tools and techniques useful to the CTO role."

SARAH HALE, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AT UNITY

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"The Mentoring Circles in particular have been a highlight - having an
experienced coach facilitating discussions between engineering leaders from
different backgrounds who are facing similar challenges has been incredibly
valuable."

EMANUELE BLANCO, CTO AT MONEYFARM

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"I heard about the great CTO Craft community from a fellow CTO and was glad to
join. There's lots of different experiences and points of view, and I felt I
could both get and give back to the community."

MARCUS LAMBERT, CTO AT OMOBONO

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"The Mentoring Circle has been outstanding - it has helped me to reflect on my
leadership style, identifying areas for improvement and helped me communicate
clearly with my teams. As I direct result of an idea/perspective we had in the
circle, I have made 50k cost-saving at Omobono, highly recommended."

TOM WATSON, CTO AT HUBBLE

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"The Circle was an amazing experience. Not only was the coach great but hearing
from other CTOs with similar challenges at different stages was equally as
valuable. I feel a lot more equipped to manage as the company grows and
changes."

CHARAKA GOONATILAKE, CTO AT PANASEER

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"A truly unique coaching experience – providing sorely needed support for
technical leaders. It's a hugely effective concept to bring together individuals
leading technical organisations together with a seasoned CTO to discuss problems
and actionable solutions."

GUY FARLEY, CTO AT BOUGHT BY MANY

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"The CTO Craft Mentoring Circle was a great learning experience and huge fun.
Our Coach had a model to share for every conceivable management situation and it
was great just to share experiences, and frustrations, with other CTOs."

JOHN PLUMMER, HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT AT REEVOO

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"What I have appreciated most is being able to ask very specific questions about
real situations and getting actionable feedback and also recommendations on
tools and reading that would be useful in similar future situations."

ARIF SHANJI, HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT AT KANO

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"I think the sessions are brilliant and I'm learning a lot. There's a good mix
of participants at different levels. We're going at a good pace with bite-sized
material."

ALLISTAIR CROSSLEY, CTO AT COCONUT

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"Taking part in a Circle whilst also launching a FinTech business was especially
useful to me as I was able to raise a bunch of real-time challenges and get the
group's take every week, practice and report back the week after on results (CI
with people!). By the end of the Circle I felt more confident, capable and
equipped to discharge the role of CTO."

DR OLE MOELLER-NILSSON, CTO AT PIVIGO

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"The CTO Craft mentoring group was fantastic; the various open discussions in a
small group around a wide variety of topics really helped me build my confidence
as first time CTO."

MATT VARUGHESE, CTO AT DROVER

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"It was a great way to find new and practical solutions to various real
challenges I have faced. Overall a fantastic opportunity to learn from others,
who have been through similar experiences and can share their thoughts and
advice."

NAYUR KHAN, GLOBAL HEAD OF TECHNICAL DELIVERY AT QUANTUMBLACK

 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

"The workshop was incredibly insightful and very well run. It aimed to
brainstorm through unconscious biases and fears around recruiting junior talent,
and provide useful and practical tips to overcome them."
