How CEOs and CTOs Can Align on Reporting & Decision-Making

Shailesh Hegde · CEO, Hubilo

Shailesh pulls back the curtain on one of the most friction-prone relationships in any startup: the CEO and CTO trying to operate in sync. He covers how misaligned reporting structures create confusion at the leadership level, why honesty and clarity beat consensus, and how to broker the customer-vs-innovation tradeoff without breaking team morale.
