What the Hell is a CPTO?

What is a CPTO - and why are companies rethinking the split between product and engineering leadership? In this episode, Jens explains what a Chief Product and Technology Officer actually does, why the CTO/CPO divide creates expensive trade-offs, and why AI makes shared product and technology accountability more important.

You will learn:

• What a CPTO is and when the role makes sense
• Why CEOs often become the human API between product and engineering
• How AI changes the relationship between product management and engineering
• How to recognize or hire a strong CPTO

Code Meets Business is where a real CPTO explains technology, product, and business without the jargon wall or the corporate theatre.
