Ask HN: If you're a CTO, how would you describe your role?

I find it interesting how the role of CTO varies greatly between companies depending on their size, industry, etc.

Nearly 12 years ago, Werner Vogels wrote the following blog in which he defined 4 different types of CTOs. https://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2007/07/the_different_cto_roles.html

Do you fall into one of these buckets? Into multiple buckets? Or is none of these books?

How would you define your role?
