CTO in residence
from Belgium

Peter, who stands at a height of 194cm (6"4), could have played in the NBA but chose to follow his true passion and became a software developer.

Starting out as a software developer, in the course of the years he helped develop software in all kinds of domains: from steel factories to speed pedelecs. These days he is a CTO and adheres to these clichés: showing up is half the battle, one small step at a time and not choosing is still a choice. In his free time you can find him on the basketball court or DIYing smart home projects. Although the DIY sometimes becomes DIWHY...

What is the best advice you would give to someone just starting out in your field?
Don't hold back asking questions even if they feel obvious or dumb. Somebody else is thinking them anyway but is too embarrassed to bring them up.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Getting my kids to listen the first time when I ask them to do something. ;-)

Things we do in our first weeks as Fractional CTO

Team and leadership

Team structure

Team rhythm

A fractional CTO can transform a company by addressing urgent technical issues while developing a long-term strategy. Beyond firefighting, a fractional CTO focuses on building a sustainable, self-sufficient team that can thrive independently after their involvement ends. This is how to get started.

Stop Coding, Start Leading: Shifting dynamics for startup CEOs

Team and leadership

Team structure

Roles and responsibilities

Once their team starts to grow, technical founders must shift from coding to leading. They often wrongly believe they can build features more quickly independently rather than collaborating with the team.
