Success in Your First 90 Days: An Executive Roundtable for Senior Engineering Leaders
Success in Your First 90 Days: An Executive Roundtable for Senior Engineering Leaders
Stepping into a senior engineering leadership role has always come with pressure. Today, you may also be navigating shifting priorities, tighter resources, and expectations around AI that are changing while you’re still figuring out the organization.
You’re expected to establish credibility, give your team direction, and deliver results, even when the people around you don’t agree on what comes next. It can feel lonely, especially when you’re used to being the person others turn to for answers.
How do you decide where to focus? What do you need to understand before you act? And how do you lead with confidence when there’s so much you can’t predict?
Join executive coach and former engineering VP Jossie Haines for a candid conversation about navigating your first 90 days amid the uncertainty and intensity of today’s tech industry.
We’ll explore questions like:
How do you align on what success looks like when priorities keep shifting?
How do you balance learning the organization with the pressure to deliver results quickly?
How do you build trust and influence while making difficult decisions?
How do you navigate expectations around AI, productivity, and doing more with less?
How do you support your team through uncertainty while managing your own doubts and energy?
Bring the situations you’re working through, the questions you haven’t felt comfortable asking internally, and your own experience. This is an interactive peer discussion, with space to compare approaches and talk honestly with leaders facing similar challenges.
You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, clearer priorities, and practical next steps for your own first 90 days.
Whether you’ve recently been promoted, joined a new company, or taken on a substantially different scope, you’re welcome.
