I am in a completely opposite situation as yours. I joined as VP Engineering at a startup and my CTO refuses to pass any responsibilities. I tried to communicate him multiple times to let me take care of day-to-day management stuff which he agrees to but jumps back right in. I think part of the reason is his passion about the product and expertise but that is definitely getting in way of me doing my job.

I wish I was in your place as you are getting more autonomy and that will definitely help you get to the next level.
