It goes beyond mere CEO. When you say "Hey I built thread!" people will think you're talking about one of:

- threads.com: Another tech startup (recently acquired)

- threads.net: Instagram (must I say more?)

- the thread protocol: https://threadgroup.org/

I don't think naming will hinder adoption of your product, but it will cause needless confusion for your (potential) users. Up to you whether you care or not, though!
