What is a vp tech?

A VP Tech, or Vice President of Technology, is a senior executive responsible for overseeing a company's technology strategy, development, and implementation. They lead technical teams, collaborate with other departments, and ensure that technology initiatives align with overall business goals. VP Techs are often involved in decision-making regarding software, hardware, security, and innovation.
