About this talk
This talk explores the challenges tech leaders face when managing relationships with senior stakeholders, such as executive team members and board members, in growing startups. Andrew Ellam, VP of Technology at Climate X, shares strategies for effectively influencing these key figures and discusses the importance of establishing common ground with non-tech colleagues. He examines practical steps that can be taken upfront to mitigate crises, as well as the balance tech leaders must find between their own organization and the broader executive team. Additionally, the session emphasizes the significance of articulating technology concepts to non-technical stakeholders to support both organizational success and personal career development.
