Management
I’m the line manager for:
- Zoe, COO
- Adam Brown, Global Commercial Director
I have 1:1s with Zoe and Adam. I support them through 360 feedback rounds, performance reviews, their PDPs, as well as help guide and advise their work, career, and any challenges they’re facing.
Executive Team
I lead the Executive Team, which sets company strategy and oversees its execution. We handle escalations that need a company-level decision.
- We meet monthly for strategy and as needed between meetings.
People
- As part of onboarding, People Ops arranges welcome calls with members of the Executive Team.
- I’m available for ad-hoc 1:1s with anyone at Human Made.
- I meet with other leaders to talk through team and management issues.
Finance
- I work with Zoe and the finance team to review our financial position, discuss forecasts and decide how to use company funds.
Communication & Presence
- Slack is the easiest way to reach me. I use it for quick check-ins and questions, both 1:1 and in shared channels.
- I write company updates on H2 to share what’s happening, what we’re working through and where we’re headed.
- I take part in our monthly Town Halls and make time for questions and discussion.
- I keep up with what’s happening across the company through H2, Slack and conversations with people. If there’s something you need me to see or act on, send me the link and tell me what you need from me.
External
- As CEO I take calls or meetings with people external to the company.
- I sometimes participate in interviews or podcasts.
- I attend conferences and other events.
- I speak with key clients and join sales or partner conversations where I can help.
Projects
I usually lead several internal projects at a time and use GitHub issues to track the work.
