LTL 24: Life After Being a CTO
We’re excited to announce our London Tech Leaders #24 event - Life After Being a CTO, taking place on Wednesday 15th July!
Building a Portfolio Career, Fractional Practice, or NED Path?
This event is for senior technology leaders exploring what comes next after a full-time CTO role. This session brings together leaders who are looking to or have transitioned into Non-Executive Director (NED), advisory, consulting, and fractional leadership positions.
The conversation will focus on the practical realities of reinventing yourself after operating at the top of technology leadership.
The goal is not just to discuss career moves, but to explore the deeper shift in identity, behaviour, operating style, and commercial thinking that comes with life beyond a traditional CTO seat.
A reminder that this event is for senior technology leaders (anyone with a Head of title or above). Attendance confirmation is subject to approval.

Mal Minhas - Compere + former CTO at Checktrade + Gumtree

“When you stepped away from a full-time senior technology leadership role what changed most, professionally or personally and that one thing that you weren’t expecting?”
“A lot of leaders talk about portfolio careers, advisory work, or NED roles, but how do those opportunities actually happen in practice?”
“What skills did you have to develop outside of technology leadership to succeed in this next chapter of your career?”
“What advice would you give to CTOs today who know they eventually want to move into fractional, advisory, or board-level work?”
19:30 - 22:00 - Networking continues until event end.
