Nikos Kryvossidis is the best manager I never had 

(he was my boss’s boss at Google, so not technically my manager)

He had a knack for inspiring great loyalty among his team
…protecting them from bureaucratic overload
And helping them be efficient and productive.

In our conversation, we discuss
✅ Is CTO a technical or a business role?
✅ How does Nikos collaborate with other executives as a CTO? What works and what doesn’t?
✅ How do you get started in a new CTO role?
✅ What are Nikos’ views on OKRs

…and much more.
