How to Build a Strong CEO-CTO Relationship

One of the most controversial talking points in the startup community has been the relationship between tech and non-tech. Most problems derive from miscommunication and misunderstanding between both departments, and their managers. This event will enable you to understand better where these conflicts come from and how to solve them.

In this webinar, Sebastian Galonska and his co-host Stephan Schmidt will discuss:

• The motivation and actions of the 'significant other'
• How to collaborate to make your company a success
• What are the symptoms of a broken CEO-CTO relationship and the underlying conditions
• How to progressively improve the performance of your team

There will also be plenty of time for a Q&A with Sebastian & Stephan, so bring your questions!
