What is the Executive Visibility on Work That Stays course about?
Engineers at the forefront of analog design often deliver foundational work that never surfaces to strategic conversations. Without structured translation, even mission-critical I/O decisions appear as routine execution rather than deliberate risk posture. This invisibility means high-leverage work stays buried, sponsorship remains distant, and promotion cases lack executive anchor points.
What situation is the Executive Visibility on Work That Stays for?
