🚀 Join the September 2025 cohort

I'm excited to announce that applications are now open for the September 2025 cohort of the Unicorn CTO – Engineering Leadership Program.

If you’re a CTO, Head of Engineering, or Engineering Manager looking to scale your team, evolve your leadership style, and stay ahead in a world shaped by AI, this program was designed for you.

👥 A Program Built for Real-World Engineering Leaders

The Unicorn CTO isn’t theory. It’s a 10-week, highly practical experience built on years of working with hundreds of technology leaders. Since launch, over 400 CTOs and senior tech leaders from companies like Aircall, Alma, Leboncoin, Datadome, Leapwork, Yubo, and Euronext have completed the program.

It’s not about adding another framework to your list, it’s about applying the right ones to solve the problems you’re facing right now.

🧭 What You’ll Learn

Over the course of 10 weeks, we’ll cover the key building blocks of effective engineering leadership:

  • Hiring and onboarding at scale
  • Structuring high-performing teams
  • Coaching, feedback, and delegation
  • Performance metrics that actually matter
  • Navigating reorgs and stakeholder management
  • Integrating Generative AI into development workflows
  • Decision-making under uncertainty
  • Communicating with execs, boards, and investors

Each session is built around real-world questions and challenges brought by the participants; no filler, no fluff.

  • 10 live weekly workshops (1.5h per session)
  • A one-on-one coaching session, tailored to your challenges
  • Access to a private peer group of engineering leaders
