How about you work with him to figure out where YOU can change and adapt instead of expecting the other party to change at your will? If you are really open to learn and contribute he will see that and put you on a path to get what you want.

Assess where YOU can change/improve and a better future for you will usually follow.

Humans have this default behavior where they want everyone but themselves to change.

We've been trying. My entire team has mostly newcomers. We put in a lot of work, even worked through New Year's, and delivered a feature, but he never appreciates us, only the old timers. It's hard to get through to him.

Have you tried bringing this to him?

“Look, I have done A, B, and C and judging from your response I feel like you don’t trust me. Is that accurate? Am I’m misinterpreting it? I expected X, Y, and Z would happen, but it didn’t. Can you please help me understand where the disconnect might be? I really would like to achieve X, Y, and Z. How can I get closer to that? Or is that not realistic?”

Maybe “delivering” a lot is not what he values. You need to find what that is. You might be using the wrong tool to get in his good graces.
