Code meets Business https://podcast.the-cpto.com Welcome to Code Meets Business - the podcast where a real Chief Product & Technology Officer breaks down what's actually happening in tech for business leaders.

Every two weeks, I explain engineering concepts without the jargon, roast companies making bad tech decisions, and share what I've learned leading teams at the intersection of product, technology, and business.

If you work WITH engineers but aren't one - or if you ARE one and want to understand the business side - this show is for you.

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.
