How do you handle a CD that overrides everything to do with web/UX/UI for their own opinions and tastes? A few months ago the same CD admitted to having no new web knowledge since the mid 90's...

My team and I have provided research/data backed design choices but our CD could care less. We present our ideas in a respectful manner but it seems he interprets it as a threat to his authority. It makes for a frustrating work environment and our products aren't nearly as successful as they could be.

Hello Amazing people,

I am going to support a partner in my company on top of the CEO/Founder and COO. He never had an EA before… He doesn’t know how I can help him. He asked me to think of ideas to brainstorm together. I am pretty new in the company (2 months) and I do not fully understand all the sides of his role as I was focused on my CEO and COO. He mainly work on our company marketing and branding.
We have a first 1-1 tomorrow and I am trying to think of on thought provoking questions.
