ROMANDY
CTO
Where Technology Leaders Connect.
Free monthly meetups in Geneva for anyone passionate about technology and leadership. Insightful talks, real networking, and growth opportunities.
Upcoming Event
Built for the people building things
Our name says CTO. Our community is for everyone who thinks at that level. You don't need a specific title. You need to care about the right things: building great products, leading with clarity, and growing through honest conversation.
What We Cover
Technical Leadership
How to lead engineering teams through growth, change, and pressure — without losing the people you most want to keep.
Architecture & Systems
What it actually takes to design systems that scale — technically and organizationally. The decisions no architecture diagram shows you.
Recruiting & Talent
Finding great engineers is hard. Keeping them is harder. Knowing when to let go is harder still. We talk about all three.
Leveraging Technology
AI, cloud, platforms, emerging tools — when to adopt early, when to wait, and how to build conviction either way.
Building Teams
Culture, onboarding, rituals, remote vs. in-person — the full picture of what actually makes a team perform.
Tech Strategy
How to connect technical decisions to business outcomes, and communicate them clearly to anyone in the room — technical or not.
AI for CTOs.
Top 3 AI stories. One tool. One deep dive. Every Monday, in 3 minutes.
Hundreds of conversations.
Each one a reason to show up to the next.
