Due to this bias, I can sometimes be slow to decide and if you need a decision quickly, make sure I know it. I will rarely get stuck in one position or opinion but the downside is that you won’t always get a quick judgment out of me-I need to talk it through and see some ideas/data/options.

I like to see WIP and I am happy to meet with folks who have done great work so they can walk me through it-your discretion. As work is ongoing or a team member does a great job on something, forward it or link from our 1:1 doc.Please add me to emails (fwd as FYI or add me) or documents that might be helpful for me to see as a way to understand the team and day-to-day work.I do these every 3–6 months and will share mine with everyone, also. We can discuss them each Q and then mark out a plan on how we make sure you get the time, space, and support to accomplish what you need. Personal goals-I believe in the two of us reviewing the top 3-5 personal goals you have each quarter or so (these are the things that you personally spend your time on, not your team plans, which I know you also spend time on…).These help me know where you are in terms of personal development interests and ambitions with respect to longer-term plans. We’ll do a career session at some point in our first few months of working together-your history, why you’ve made choices you have made, what your ambitions are for the future, etc.It’s possible that we’ll have some Stripe separate business review-type meetings and we can work hard to keep work manageable between these and planning sessions.Quarterly planning sessions-it’s my hope we make these happen with strong pre-work and good follow-up afterward with our teams and partners (internal or external).I expect people to be prepared and to participate, even though we’ll have to manage video conferences and time zones.

We’ll try to keep the times consistent so you can plan. First of all, I’m really excited to be working with each of you and your teams.
