Nikos Kryvossidis is the best manager I never had
(he was my boss’s boss at Google, so not technically my manager)
He had a knack for inspiring great loyalty among his team
…protecting them from bureaucratic overload
And helping them be efficient and productive.
In our conversation, we discuss

✅ How does Nikos collaborate with other executives as a CTO? What works and what doesn’t?
✅ How do you get started in a new CTO role?
✅ What are Nikos’ views on OKRs
…and much more.
