Top SchoolWarren Habib is a seasoned, hands-on technology leader and Fractional CTO based in New York with over 30 years in engineering and executive roles, and 11 years framed in his current senior consulting practice. He has built and scaled engineering organizations from solo developer shops to teams of hundreds, led platform transformations at companies like Fotolog and MTV Networks, and designed secure, compliant systems at Everplans where he served as CTO and CISO.
