Produktbeschreibung
In today's boardrooms, technology is no longer just a support function - it is a driver of growth, differentiation, and long-term resilience. Yet many Chief Technology Officers remain trapped in the role of executor, speaking only in technical terms while the business demands strategic guidance. From CTO to Trusted Advisor is a practical playbook for technology leaders who want to elevate their influence and translate complex systems into clear business outcomes. Drawing on decades of real-world experience, the book reveals how to transition from managing servers, codebases, and infrastructure to shaping corporate strategy, driving revenue growth, and becoming a trusted advisor to the CEO. Across twenty detailed chapters, readers will discover how to build trust with executive peers, use storytelling with data to make the investment case, bridge the gap between engineering teams and finance, and navigate the politics of large organizations. Along the way, practical examples drawn from enterprise transformation projects, ranging from financial services to telecommunications and digital media, bring to life the skills required to become indispensable in the C-suite. Whether leading a Fortune 500 technology organization, scaling a fast-growth company, or stepping into a first CTO role, this book equips leaders with the language, mindset, and tools to evolve into true trusted advisors. It is as much about influence and vision as it is about systems and platforms, showing how a CTO can create impact far beyond the technology stack.

Beyond his executive roles, Mr. Barenboim is a frequent speaker and advisor on AI, cloud infrastructure, mobile app development, and nearshore/offshore/multishore engineering models. He is dedicated to making complex technologies understandable, actionable, and ethically aligned with human values. This book distills his experience and vision into a comprehensive guide for anyone seeking to understand artificial intelligence not only as a set of algorithms, but as a transformative force that will define the future of human-machine collaboration.
