Darren M., GitLab's Head of Remote, recaps his remote CEO Shadow rotation at GitLab. The goal of the CEO Shadow Program is to give current and future directors and senior leaders at GitLab an overview of all aspects of the company.

I felt fully engaged and completely welcomed by both those inside of the GitLab organization, as well as those outside of it. Thank you all!

This rotation occurred 2020-05-04 through 2020-05-15. Darren joined all calls with Sid, GitLab's co-founder at CEO, for two consecutive weeks.

For historical context, this rotation occurred during a period of global isolation. This impacted several elements of the program.

1) It was entirely remote, whereas CEO Shadows typically travel to San Francisco to join GitLab's CEO for in-person meetings.
2) Due to the complete lack of CEO travel during this period, it allowed for a high amount of meetings. It wasn't unusual to attend 12 meetings in a day, many with only 20 seconds to 5 minutes of buffer time in between. Context switching was a must, and it allowed for a relatively high amount of diverse exposure to topics within a 2-week window.
3) I operated on Sid's schedule, in Pacific Time. This worked beautifully for me as I prefer to shift my hours in Eastern Time to a later schedule.
4) In 2 weeks, I believe only 2 meetings were cancelled. With so much of the world isolated, fewer external factors (like travel delays) led to cancellations. The other side of this reality is that Zoom fatigue and overall exhaustion are concerns.
