A CTO, or chief technology officer, makes critical decisions about the use of technology to advance a company's business mission. The responsibilities of a CTO vary greatly among companies and may include governance of huge organizations in large enterprises or personally creating and implementing technology solutions in a small startup. The role of a CTO also varies, with CTOs in technology companies often having great prominence and many companies outside of the technology sector relegating a CTO role to a chief operating officer or other executive. A CTO job decription provides an example of the work of a CTO in a web startup.

In the technology sector, many CTOs maintain a blog to write about technical issues that interest them. Fewer CTOs find time to blog about the critical decisions that impact the success of their organizations. However, several consulting CTOs offer blogs with web startup help and technology guidance for nontechnical entrepreneurs.
