I help you grow as CTO.
"Everyone needs a coach."
After decades as a tech manager, I’ve decided to share my knowledge and help others grow faster and not make the same mistakes I made.
I’ve seen a lot of things from large enterprise to small startups, from exponential growth to layoffs. I’ve learned some things working at ImmobilienScout24 and for eBay. I founded my own startups and helped my wife grow and sell hers.
"I have coached many CTOs in thousands of sessions. I've seen many things and helped many CTOs. I can help you too."
"I worked with Stephan for over a year. He coached me through a massive growth period of our company, asking the right questions as well as giving constructive advice based on his profound knowledge and experience in the field. He helped me to grow and become the professional I am today. I highly recommend working with him"
I have coaching several years experience with clients from 1 to 100 developers, hundreds of sessions, in bootstrapped, VC funded, fast and slow growing startups and enterprises.

"Stephan has a very quick grasp and a wealth of experience which he can call upon as appropriate advice. I find his competence in helping through self-reflection most helpful."
