The CTO Playbook
A practical field guide to building, integrating, and scaling remote engineering teams with elite LATAM talent — the same system we use to place senior engineers inside 21 days. Read it online below, or download the full PDF to share with your team.
Five sections, one repeatable system
From the nearshore thesis to retention, each section is a self-contained chapter you can act on this quarter — no fluff, no filler.
The Nearshore Thesis
Why LATAM, why now, and how 6–8 hours of time-zone overlap quietly determines whether a distributed team compounds or stalls.
The Hiring Framework
Level definitions, a four-signal scorecard, and how to keep your bar calibrated across every interviewer.
Onboarding in 21 Days
A week-by-week ramp with one goal: a small, real change shipped to production by the end of week one.
The Operating Model
Async-by-default rituals, a cadence table, and the three defaults that make distributed teams compound.
Metrics & Retention
The leading indicators worth measuring, plus a concrete checklist for keeping great people on board.
Ready-to-use
Designed to print cleanly to PDF and circulate internally. Yours to adapt for your own org.
