Jason Lewis Termination - Ready to Action

February 4, 2026 at 1:20 AMpeoplemedium

Situation

Confirmed readiness to proceed with Jason Lewis termination now that the ISO 27001 certification letter has been received. Will coordinate with Steve Wallace and Mariah Rippee (HR) to execute. Jason recently requested a seat at the table for self-service discussions, unaware of the pending action.

Reasoning

The termination decision was made previously (Jan 13) but tactically delayed to allow ISO certification work to complete since Jason's name was on that work. Now that the 27001 letter is received and the blocker is cleared, proceeding with the planned termination. Following through on prior decision.

Additional Context

ISO 40-2001 certification letter received. Jason hit Peter up about wanting involvement in self-service discussions, indicating he is unaware of pending termination.

Observed Evidence

Slack #distinguished-leaders: Jason lewis. Now that we have the 27001 letter, we are good to action him, yes? and Ill talk to Steve/Mariah about Jason. Engineering Weekly Sync confirmed ISO 40-2001 complete; certification letter received.
