Building, creating, developing – these are all activities all tech leaders simply love. And as leaders, they are skilled at nurturing the flames of others – the flames to build, create, develop, analyze, or simply put, to follow their drive towards creating a better tomorrow. I had the chance to have a good talk with one such leader – Jamie Smith Webb, CTO at Numan, who shared with me his journey to becoming a tech leader, his experience in various industries, and his incredible insights he’s amassed from working with a variety of teams.
“Discovering expectations and learning how to align with them is an ability that is rare – but highly valued.”
-Jamie Smith Webb–
