Chief of Staff

Founders and executives drown in the same way: too many inbound requests, too many half-finished processes, and no single point accountable for making sure decisions actually get made and followed through. This service acts as an embedded chief of staff — triaging what reaches the executive's desk, owning the cross-functional processes that otherwise fall through the cracks, and tracking decisions from 'discussed' to 'done.' It's built for leaders who need leverage, not another meeting, and who are losing hours a week to coordination work that doesn't require their judgment. The result is an executive calendar and inbox that reflect actual priorities, and a company where decisions don't quietly die in a Slack thread.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan — not a black box

  1. 1

    Shadow the executive for a set period to map where their time and attention actually go versus where it should.

  2. 2

    Take over one high-friction process — meeting prep, decision tracking, or inbound triage — as a contained pilot.

  3. 3

    Review what changed with the executive: hours reclaimed, decisions closed out, what to hand off next.

  4. 4

    Expand into full chief-of-staff coverage with documented routing rules and a weekly operating rhythm.
