Leadership 1:1s with Maple, Dieter, Andrew

January 6, 2026 at 8:47 PMpeoplemedium

Situation

Decision to begin regular 1-on-1s with Maple, Dieter, and Andrew (when onboarded) to build trust and ensure unified messaging.

Reasoning

Maple feels undervalued by Bjorn, creating a communication gap between engineering and business. Rather than delegating the fix, taking direct ownership of these key relationships. This ensures people who feel disconnected from leadership have a direct line to the CTO. Establishing these relationships before H1 execution sets the foundation for alignment.

Additional Context

Part of broader effort to project confidence and excitement for the next six months. Nathan will complement with his own accountability messaging in team meetings.
