CTO vs. VPE
I was curious today about what technologists and high tech leaders think of as the differences between CTO role and VPE (VP Engineering) role at a startup. This blog post by Brad Feld has a good viewpoint. A key point: for up to 20 engineers, one person can play both roles. I would expect at 12+ engineers that someone with leanings towards VPE would have a Chief Architect and someone with CTO leanings would have a strong Eng Director.
