The technology landscape is evolving faster than ever. AI is reshaping entire industries. Data is both abundant and complex to manage and cybersecurity threats grow increasingly sophisticated. These challenges, coupled with the demand for innovation and operational reliability, have fundamentally transformed the role of the CTO. Today’s CTOs are not just technology leaders – they are strategic partners, innovation drivers and problem solvers across the organization.

At Bain Capital Ventures, we’ve had the privilege of investing in the tools and technologies that empower CTOs and their teams for over 20 years. Recognizing the pivotal role they play, we see this as the ideal moment to bring together a community of technology leaders to exchange ideas, collaborate on shared challenges and navigate the future together.

It’s been proven time after time, the greatest breakthroughs come from the intersection of ideas. This advisory board is designed to spark those intersections; bridging the gaps between industries, technologies and strategies. By bringing together visionary CTOs, we're not just discussing the future – we're actively shaping it.

Through the combined expertise of BCV and the broader Bain Capital network, we aim to equip our 40+ CTO Advisory Board members representing $860B in market cap with fresh perspectives on emerging innovations and actionable insights to inform their decision-making. In turn, we’ll seek their guidance to better understand the critical priorities of today’s technology leaders and explore how modern solutions – both from our portfolio and beyond – can address their needs.

The CTO Advisory Board brings together a select group of leaders across diverse industries, company sizes and stages of growth to shape the future of technology leadership. This group will convene throughout 2025 to discuss pressing issues, chart the near future and network with fellow technical thought leaders.

It’s our pleasure to introduce the inaugural cohort of this dynamic and innovative community. Interested in engaging with them? Reach out to Nicole LoRusso at nlorusso@baincapital.com.
