> unavailable technically

This sounds like a good reason to hire a new CTO. If the CTO was working on full-time on something that isn't technical, their job and title should change.

No. The CTO wasn't working full time on something that is not technical. He was unavailable but not replaceable. He couldn't write code but knows what's going on, and I don't want to pollute the core team. I filled in to ensure we're fine product wise and business wise. We've seen it through and will continue to do so now he's one week away.

We're both technical but I concentrated on freeing him and the CEO from everything that I could do so they could focus on the things I can't do.
