The First 100 Days as a CTO: Make or Break Moves [BRNO]

A seated audience listening to a talk at an ELC meetup in Brno

“The First 100 Days as a CTO” is ELC Meetup #25, held at Kiwi.com in Brno on 25 February 2025.

The Engineering Leaders Community meets every month. Join ELC to get the next invite, or pitch a talk for a future night.

Stepping into the CTO role changes everything. Those first 100 days? They can set the tone for your leadership and shape your team’s future. It’s not about ticking boxes, it’s about making the right moves and avoiding the wrong ones. 💡 This time, we’ve partnered with Kiwi.com 💚

What’s in it for you?

• How to earn trust fast, without feeling like you need to prove everything at once.

• Real-world advice on spotting quick wins while staying focused on the bigger picture.

• How to align your vision with both the business and the team (and avoid common disconnects).

The first few months in any leadership role are intense, but as a CTO, the stakes are even higher. Let’s talk about the strategies that work, the lessons you’ll want to learn before it’s too late, and how to hit the ground running without burning out. 🔥
