Tiago Butzke is a seasoned technology leader and current CTO based in Berlin with over a decade of experience building and scaling data-intensive, highly available systems across fintech, payments, fraud prevention, and live streaming. He has a proven track record growing engineering organizations—hiring hundreds, promoting engineers into manager and principal roles, and managing managers across multiple teams and geographies. At Delivery Hero he led large payments and risk tribes, delivering ML pipelines, online feature stores, payment integrations, and cost reductions exceeding €1M while keeping order loss negligible. A hands-on founder as well (Live4.tv, Stoodos, LangRoulette), he keeps technical skills sharp by shipping TypeScript, Node, Java, and Kubernetes-based systems alongside strategic CTO responsibilities. He leads by providing context, aligning people to strengths, and creating a culture where healthy technical debate drives better solutions. His blend of deep product–business acumen and operational rigor makes him effective at turning complex compliance and scale challenges (PCI, fraud, ML infra) into reliable production outcomes.
