Hi,

It’s been several years since I have published on a regular basis of what my personal and professional goals are.

But this year it’s quite different. For the first time, I did not define the upcoming year plan by myself but with my team, consisting of four individuals. Therefore it’s no longer my retrospective alone but rather a retrospective of Myctofriend. Coming back to 2020, here is what we have planned

Where do we start from and Where are we going?

It’s been six years since I started to coach startups as a CTO. This taught me how to help them on a daily basis with an understanding of what non-technical startup founders might need. 2020 is the year where we are upscaling. Our goal is not only to hire other CTO to do the same coaching as I do, but also to reinforce our CTO and client with the best Technical Management knowledge base as possible.

There are hundreds of resources about Project Management or about launching a startup, but none of them are able to objectively help people on the technical decisions that are required.

That is what we are best at MyCTOFriend!

2020’s Project list 

At MyCTOfriend we do not believe in the idea of multitasking. We believe that as a species we cannot multitask, but rather switch tasks. Although we will move forward with several projects in parallel, we are aiming for one main goal per month. 

The goals are as follows:

• January: Rebranding
• February: Youtube optimization + video Production optimization
• March: MyCTOFriend coaching center + new CTO hiring
• April: Podcast re-launch
• May: Analytics project
• June: Content production industrialisation
•  July: First BootCamp ( online + OffLine )
•  August: Virtual CTO Coach BETA ( for startup who cannot afford our premium coaching)
•  September: Indian Market Experimentation
•  October: Book draft  : “Startup Without CTO”
•  November: Sales Industrialisation
•  December: 2020 Retrospective & 2021 Planning

We are going to make it!

I’m proud to let you know that by the end of 2019, I built a brand new team to kick start this amazing year. We have been creating content for a long time, but we found out that this content is very useful for founders, but not optimized at all for traffic generation. So I’ve assembled the content production and web Marketing team, that will be able to scale our business and make use grow. 

So here is the actual team: 

Mitchie Ruiz: Content Director

Marie Semerdjian: Chief Marketing Officer  

#creative #branding #dreamer #contentstrategist #mindfulness #workaholic #travels #teamplayer #crossfit #greengirl #knowledge

CMO, with almost 7 years of experience. I have chosen to put my skills at the service of companies and communication agencies to help them square their projects… while rounding off the angles. Thanks to my transversal vision, I can focus on very strategic topics such as Communication, Growth Marketing, Branding, Sales and Communication.

My main goal is to ensure that every member of the team is happy, fulfilled and acquires new skills to grow and make the company grow!

Fun fact: I am also a CrossFit Trainer and I study naturopathy in my leisure time 🙂
