As Zoona scaled, its top priority was to recruit and hire the right CTO who would lead its technology growth. Zoona partnered with Rippleworks to define its hiring needs and build roadmap for hiring its first CTO.
At the start of the project I was in way over my head. After working with Mike, I was able to properly define the role to fit our need, stage, and culture, along with creating a recruitment process to maximize our chances of success.
Not only did I successfully hire a fit-to-purpose CTO, I was also able to raise the bar for all key leadership hires since. Mike even flew out to Cape Town after the project to meet with our team, and catalyzed a process that led us to create an entire product management structure.
