CTO & Technical Leadership for Modern Product Teams

I’m Henrik Oscarsson, a CTO and senior engineering leader with 25 years of experience building and scaling complex software systems — primarily in finance, trading, and high-transaction payment environments.

I work at the intersection of technology, business, and execution, helping companies deliver robust platforms with speed, clarity, and long-term sustainability.

Over the years, I’ve supported organizations ranging from global enterprises to fast-moving product teams, often stepping in where technical direction, architectural clarity, and delivery focus are critical. My role is to ensure that technology becomes an enabler of growth — not a bottleneck.

Building Strong Teams Through Mentorship and Architecture

My work often goes beyond systems design — I take an active role in mentoring engineers, strengthening team structure, and raising the technical standard across an organization.

I enjoy building environments where developers can thrive, grow in confidence, and deliver high-quality software together.

I’ve led teams in both startup and enterprise settings, and I’m comfortable in CTO-level steering groups where technology decisions must align tightly with business goals. Clear communication between engineering and leadership is often the key to successful execution, and it’s a space where I bring long experience.

AI-First Engineering: Faster Delivery, Better Focus

Today, I apply an AI-first approach to software development and technical leadership — using modern tools such as Claude and AI-assisted workflows to increase delivery speed, improve developer productivity, and reduce unnecessary complexity.

The goal is not automation for its own sake, but building calmer, sharper, more effective engineering teams. When AI is introduced thoughtfully, it becomes a force multiplier: helping teams stay focused, ship faster, and spend more time solving the right problems.

Recent Roles: CTO, Engineering Management, High-Performance systems

Most recently, I’m serving as CTO at Valuno Group, setting technical direction for crypto payment solutions, mentoring engineers, and driving hiring and team growth in a high-transaction, regulated environment.

My background also includes leading architecture and performance improvements across platforms at Quickbit, FRISQ, Barnebys, NASDAQ/OMX, SIX Telekurs, and AMEX — often in systems where reliability, latency, and scalability are essential. I’m frequently brought in to simplify complex environments and help teams deliver with confidence.

Let’s Build What’s Next

If you need a technical leader who can combine architecture depth, team mentorship, and AI-enabled execution, I’d love to help.

Whether you’re scaling a product team, modernizing a platform, or looking for CTO-level guidance during a critical phase, I bring both strategic oversight and hands-on engineering experience.
