Decisions (2)
Dedicated cloud security engineer role to be championed — dual-purpose JD covering cloud + STIG/FIPS
Committed in Steve 1:1 5/21 to champion a new dedicated cloud security engineer role. Steve will work with TJ to draft the JD; Peter will champion it to budget owners (Bjorn/Greg). Triggered by TJ flagging current cloud security as bare minimum and the proactive supply-chain projects (TJ on GitHub workflow SHA pinning, CeeLo on NPM package securing) needing a dedicated owner. Dual-purpose JD: also serves Nathans STIG/FIPS security expertise needs — one hire, two demand surfaces.
Depot Management Transfer to SRE
Decided to transfer Depot management (monitoring, maintenance) from Justin org to Steve SRE team. Committed to connecting Steve and Justin to define the work distribution.

Proactive Talent Pipeline Investment
Invest in building leadership bench and talent relationships before there is an urgent need. Use proven relationships from past experience to create optionality.
Accountability Follow-Through
When you issue a warning or mandate with stated consequences, you follow through. Warnings are not threats - they are commitments. The credibility of future accountability depends on following through now.
Three-Lever Talent Management
When pursuing a velocity or performance mandate, simultaneously operate on all three talent levers — upgrade (hire better), retain (protect key people), and exit (remove blockers) — rather than sequentially. This creates compounding momentum: exits free capacity for upgrades, retention preserves institutional knowledge during transitions, and upgrades raise the performance bar that justifies further exits.
