I can't up vote this enough, this absolutely true. This is the same arrangement I have at my company (me the CTO), I can focus on the code, architecture, devops and the VP Eng. can help build the team, work out personal troubles with the developers. Obviously there needs to be a good relation between the two for this to work.
