You need to keep in mind that CTOs are *always* a potential secondary audience.
If there is a sysadmin who listens, that sysadmin may wish to
encourage the corporation to start using our package.
The obvious thing that will come up in any internal conversation they
have is, "well, where did you hear about opencsw?"

"Well, from this podcast, which is over [here]".

And then the CTO/VP/Director may listen to the interview, or skims the
transcript.
Certainly it's more likely at a director level.
I have a director who might quite likely listen to it.
Not my SVP or CTO. But it's my Director who would be the primary
decision maker for "blessing" use of opencsw, across 300 machines.
