London, UK – March 30, 2026 – CTO Academy is celebrating a special milestone on April 7 as it launches the 50th cohort of their globally recognized leadership program, The Digital MBA for Technology Leaders. It is a milestone achievement that reflects not just the organization’s growing stature but also celebrates a global community united by a shared mission: building better leaders for the technology industry.
Since launching in January 2022, the Digital MBA has attracted >1,000 technology leaders from 85 countries, creating a vibrant international network of graduates who’ve helped redefine what great tech leadership looks like.
With near‑perfect reviews, it competes directly with the more traditional and rather more expensive CTO programs at institutions like Wharton, Berkeley, MIT, and Cambridge.
At its core, the Digital MBA helps technologists step beyond their technical expertise to master the strategic, commercial, and human dimensions of leadership. The program blends MBA‑level learning with the realities of leading teams, managing change, and influencing at the board level — all delivered in a flexible, cohort‑based format that fits busy senior professionals.
Reflecting on the milestone, Andrew Weaver, CEO and Co‑Founder of CTO Academy, said:
“When we launched in 2022, we wanted something accessible, practical, and community-led — a program that could meet tech leaders where they are and help them reach where they wanted to go. To now see 50 cohorts, many hundreds of graduates, and the community that’s grown around them is both humbling and deeply rewarding.”
The results speak for themselves.
Alumni consistently describe the experience as “transformative — it changed how I lead, not just what I know,” while others call it “hands‑on, inspiring, and truly relevant to modern tech leadership.” One recent graduate summed it up simply: “The best investment I’ve made in my professional growth.”
What sets the Digital MBA apart isn’t only the content but the spirit and sense of support that CTO Academy and its network have created so that it’s also a dynamic ecosystem of mentors, collaborators, and friends with many graduates getting directly involved — recording new lectures, hosting live sessions, and launching initiatives often seeded during the course itself.
“Our participants tell us the real magic happens in the conversations — the moments of reflection, challenge, and support that happen between peers who truly understand the journey,” added Weaver. “That spirit of connection has carried us through 50 cohorts and will continue to shape the next 50 and the wider connections we’re making as we broaden CTO Academy into new markets and new challenges.”
As CTO Academy looks ahead, new programs, live events, and corporate learning partnerships are on the horizon, helping technology and non-technology leaders alike to sharpen their leadership skills for the challenges ahead.
