This week has been packed with valuable insights as the LCap team attended several events across the UK, sharing the key findings from this year’s Leadership Capital Report. The discussions that followed were both thought-provoking and engaging, focusing on critical themes like adapting to change, evolving teams, shifting strategies, and the importance of leadership adaptability. A few recurring questions came up: What’s holding us back from reaching our value-creation goals? How do we evaluate whether our current leadership is the right fit to deliver on our plans? And most importantly, how do we identify the roadblocks and apply the right solutions to drive success? While we may not have all the answers at DRAX Affinity, one trend became crystal clear in the report: the growing importance of the CTO role. The need for strong technology leadership has never been more pressing. 30% of top-quartile PE-backed businesses had a CTO or technology leader at exit. We’ve worked with companies that prioritise finding the right tech leadership, and the results speak for themselves—these businesses are 30% more successful in digital transformation and 25% more likely to launch new digital products. Key roles like CTO, Chief Product Officer, and CISO are no longer just operational—they’re now strategic imperatives driving growth and innovation.

The Rise of the CTO: Driving Innovation and Business Growth in the Digital Age The role of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has never been more critical to a company’s success. From spearheading digital transformation initiatives to driving innovation and business agility, today's CTOs are at the forefront of shaping the future. Research highlights the impact: **Board-level technology leadership is now commonplace for both software and non-software PE-backed businesses, with 30% of top-quartile performers having a CTO, or other technology leaders upon exit. (The LCap Group Leadership Capital Report 2024) **Companies with tech leadership see a 30% higher success rate in digital transformation and are 25% more likely to launch new digital products.(Deloitte, 2023) **CTOs are the most influential in driving digital initiatives.

The AI Revolution: Why Leadership Matters Now More Than Ever! If you’re in the VC, PE, or startup world, you’re probably feeling the pressure of change. AI is rewriting the rules at a rapid pace, and businesses know they need strong technology leadership to stay ahead. That’s why investing in Leadership Capital has become more crucial than ever. Recent insights from McKinsey show just how much is at stake: * AI could add $2.6-$4.4 trillion yearly to the global economy. * According to 87% of business leaders, AI and automation will require reskilling at least a quarter of their workforce. With those numbers, it’s clear that tech leadership today is about finding someone who can drive innovation, while still valuing what makes us human—creativity, empathy, and ethical judgment. Here’s what we think you should be looking for in a tech leader right now: ** Someone who can spot high-impact AI opportunities and balance AI-driven solutions provide human insight. ** A leader who can upskill teams and help them adapt to the sweeping changes AI is bringing to the workforce. ** And most importantly, someone who can champion ethical AI enabling businesses to grow in line with their value creation strategies. If you’re looking for a tech leader who can rise to the challenge, let’s talk. We’d love to help you find the right fit for your business. #LeadershipCapital #AILeadership #TechTransformation #Technology #VC #PE #Startups DRAX Affinity is part of The LCap Group that includes Drax Executive
