CTO Network Breakfast @ AWS
We’re kicking off the after-summer season with a morning built for the CTO Network: sharp minds, real conversations, strong coffee.
This is for a maximum of 30 CTOs and rising technical leaders from the trenches — people who’ve shipped hard things, led from the front, and still want to be challenged.
As always, the focus is on conversation: roundtables, knowledge sharing, meeting peers. No pitching. No theatre.
💬 This time we’ll open with a 30‑minute keynote from Ahmed Bashir, former Head of Engineering at Apple. He led the teams behind FaceTime, Messages, and iCloud. Today, he’s at DevRev, who’ve partnered with us to bring him in the room.
After that warm‑up, we get into what matters: three rotating roundtables on the hard stuff — product in the age of AI, security trade‑offs, and velocity vs tech debt. Honest takes only.
*This event is co-hosted by AWS, Borski Fund, and DevRev.
