Re:Ask HN: Should I take an idea to the chief executive? by brudgers on Friday September 11, 2015 @11:39PM (#10207129)
Sleep on it for a few days. Think about your motivations. Consider how complete is your understanding of the particular business and industry. Ask yourself if the prospect of six figure savings is a big enough number to deserve the CEO 's attention or if it is something rightly delegated to a lower level [e.g. it's rounding error at big companies].

Finally, the fact that you are asking indicates unfamiliarity with the existing corporate culture...unsurprisingly for a recent hire. My advice is to watch and learn and figure out why things are done the way they are done and what forces are really in play.

Good luck.

Thanks for your thoughts, sound advice. It's not something I want to jump into. You are likely right about trying to target the "right" person.
