Choose the right perspective
Pick someone whose company's product and stage resemble yours, since running a payments platform, a lending stack or a licensed digital bank involves different systems and regulators. Check whether their CTO tenure is current or past and how long it lasted, so their experience matches the decision you face.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you structure engineering, security and infrastructure teams as transaction volumes grew, and what would you change in hindsight?
- 02Which parts of your platform did you build in-house versus buy from vendors, and how did regulation affect those choices?
- 03How do you balance delivery speed against reliability and compliance requirements when shipping new financial products?
