S8 E4: The Isolation of the Tech C-Suite: Eradicating CTO Burnout and Building Communities of Practice with Andy Skipper, Founder of CTO Craft

Andy Skipper currently resides in Belfast, Ireland, though he is from London originally. He's been knee deep in tech since he was 12 years old, as a hobby programmer. He left college early to start his first software development agency, prior to joining the startup world during the .com era. He loves tech, but loves people as well - which lead him into his current venture. Outside of tech, he is a bedroom guitarist, an amateur photographer, and a Dad - which means he plays a log of Minecraft and Roblox.In the past, Andy was a consulting CTO, going into companies to coach leaders or temporarily fill in for leaders who had left. What he realized was that these leaders would be doing just fine, if they had mentorship and/or coaching available from seasoned veterans. So Andy branched off - and started doing just that.This is the creation story of CTO Craft.SponsorsCipherstashTreblleCAST AI FireflyTursoLinksWebsite: https://ctocraft.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyskipper/Checkout our episode stacks on Stacklist! https://stacks.codestory.co/ Hosted by Noah Labhart | Technical Founder & Startup Mentor.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
