>>A CTO (or CIO, depending on the type of company)
I have seen companies that have both. Purposefully before Googling it myself;), my personal experience in such cases CIO would be more business oriented and have a more software/data oriented view; whereas a CTO would be more implementation, technology, infrastructure, enforcement of standards and policies orientation.
Edit, after Googling, other disagree with my experience:
CIO is for internal operations, CTO is for external business:

- derefr 7y agoIf your company’s IP is in the form of technology, the CTO drives R&D strategy and the CIO is a purely-tactical role; if your company’s IP is in the form of information (e.g. a GIS or other data-product company), the CIO drives R&D strategy and the CTO is the purely-tactical role.
