In this episode, executive coach and former scale-up CEO Loic Potjes joins us to help CTOs, CIOs, and tech leaders break out of the "busy but stuck" cycle.

🎯 Learn how to:

  1. Escape the trap of surface-level innovation
  2. Use AI as a strategic co-pilot, not a tactical bolt-on
  3. Transform from technical expert to strategic leader
  4. Lead with clarity, purpose, and structure, especially in fast-scaling environments
