Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancois Ward is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO with 11+ years of experience building developer platforms, infrastructure, and high-performing engineering organizations across startups and large enterprises. He has led platform, developer experience, and frontend teams at companies like HubSpot, Wayfair, Thrive and now Corpaxe, scaling teams and delivery practices that enable hundreds of daily deployments and thousands of frontend packages. Francois focuses on people-first leadership—optimizing team size, reducing attrition, and avoiding burnout while maximizing productivity through DevOps, automation, and modern toolchains. He combines hands-on technical chops across Kubernetes, cloud providers (AWS/Azure/GCP), TypeScript, React and mobile stacks with a track record of growing managers and tech leads. Open to director-to-CTO roles, fractional leadership or technical co-founder opportunities, he often steps into early-stage startups to translate product needs into efficient engineering platforms. A longtime builder of developer-facing infrastructure, he’s as comfortable tuning Webpack and CI pipelines as he is shaping org-level delivery strategies.
