Our client is seeking a visionary Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to drive groundbreaking growth and expansion, revolutionizing their current and future portfolio of cutting-edge products. This pivotal role requires a leader who will champion technological innovation while navigating the limitless possibilities of the industry's next evolution. If you thrive on pioneering next-generation technology and are passionate about integrating emerging innovations, such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, into network security and beyond, this is the opportunity for you. A strong background in the network traffic industry—specifically with high-speed, non-cloud-based network traffic units—and expertise in both IT (Software Development) and Engineering, particularly in PCB and chip design, is essential.

Key Responsibilities:

Technology Visionary: Transform conventional approaches and lead our teams into the future. We aim to create new technologies rather than simply adapt to them.
Technical Vision: Challenge the status quo and define our technological future, effectively communicating this vision to project stakeholders, including the executive team and cross-functional leadership.
Talent Development: Recruit, develop, and train a top-tier technical team to realize your vision.
Emerging Technology Expert: Identify and evaluate new and emerging technologies, providing direction on how they can be integrated into our current and future products.
Product Development Oversight: Guide the research and development team to ensure the creation of innovative products and solutions for network traffic.
Partnerships and Collaboration: Establish and maintain strategic partnerships with technology vendors, partners, and relevant organizations to enhance our offerings.
Technology Investment Planning: Assess and prioritize technology investments for optimal resource allocation.
Risk Management: Identify and mitigate risks associated with technology development and implementation.

Experience:

Proven experience (10+ years) in a senior technology role, such as VP of Technology, Director of Engineering, or CTO.
Extensive experience in leading technology teams and managing large-scale technology projects.
Demonstrated experience in strategic technology planning and execution.
Proven track record of driving innovation and implementing new technologies, particularly in the network traffic industry.
Expertise in both IT (Software Development) and Engineering, especially in PCB and chip design.
