Good afternoon, Ricky

Context: Communications group restructure in progress with tight H1 deadlines.

Key blockers to address:

• Trust gap between new leadership (Liam, Bryce) and existing team
• PatComs dissolution causing friction — L, Eric, Julie learned late
• Bryce feeling second-guessed by trio; both leads working late nights

Your talking points:

• Friday kickoff should directly acknowledge impact on L, Eric, Julie
• Protect secure messaging GA — may need to adjust SMS timelines
• Design Manager hire status update (supports team structure)

Carry-forward topics:

• Check in on how she's navigating the Comms restructure
• Career growth — promotion was just approved this cycle
• Continue coaching on strategic product thinking vs tactical execution

Recognition moment: Elle showing senior PM maturity — Jonas noted her leadership in redirecting an unfocused workshop discussion.

Coaching opportunity: Support her in maintaining product vision advocacy during org uncertainty. She initially felt excluded from group structure decisions.

Leadership presentation on Java→Ruby migration findings

• Kristien presenting; you're in prep meeting beforehand at 10:30am
• Trade-off discussion needed for April exploratory sprint

Liam and Bryce both working late nights — burnout risk

• Only 3 months left in H1 with Two-way SMS beta (end of April) + Secure messaging GA (Q2)

Communications Design Manager hire in progress — critical for supporting restructure
