I worked for a company that grew from about 30 employees, 4 of whom were programming/networking. As we grew, the network side grew to 6 permanent and development to around 15. We stayed at those counts until we hit nearly 200 employees and were acquired by a much larger company. Organizationally, I was responsible for development and reported to the COO. Network reported to a separate manager also reporting to the COO. I had responsibility for audits etc., so the network group was also dotted line to me. I chaired the IT committee which included the COO and all operating managers. The committee was responsible for product. We were very successful with our product development. Finally, I reported to the board of directors quarterly. It was a fun experience. Best of luck to you.
