I believe that role #2 (representative) and role #6 (salesperson) coincide. TBH - most CTOs know nothing about sales, but can do a good job of persuading other engineers (potential buyers) that their product is worth the money. To keep things simple, I would merge these two roles.
As for IT and Security - I wonder how much hands on the CTO should be here. Both domains (especially the latter) are complex, and most CTOs are not qualified to lead them. Instead, I would argue that a good CTO should hire the right people to lead these domains. For a fintech company - the sooner the better.

Thanks for sharing such an insightful information.
