The CTO Compass

The CTO Compass is a podcast for CTOs, CIOs, IT directors, and everyone leading technology teams.The hardest part of leading in tech was never the technology. It's leading people, growing into the job while everyone assumes you already know how to do it. That's what this show is about.Every guest brings one lesson: the one thing they'd teach every tech leader, backed by their real stories. The growth, the setbacks, and the decisions that made them the leader they are today. Alongside the interviews, there are solo episodes where Mark shares the leadership lessons from his own career and his executive coaching. This is not a hype show, and it's not theoretical leadership content. Real stories, real mistakes, and lessons you can use.Your host: Mark Wormgoor. He spent 30 years in technology, six of them running global IT teams at JDE, and today he works as an executive coach for IT leaders.If you lead in tech, or you want to, The CTO Compass is built for you.
