Chief of Staff who turns ambiguous strategy into scalable execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Chief of Staff-level operator trusted by CEOs to own execution where ambiguity is the default. I set the strategic operating cadence—meetings, planning cycles, and decision frameworks—and then personally drive the tactical follow-through that turns plans into results.
As Chief of Staff to the CEO of an 18-person national trade association, I rebuild foundational people and budgeting systems from the ground up—cutting costs 15% while increasing organizational efficiency 50%. I architect decision-making support and cross-functional alignment through periods of rapid growth and rising complexity.
Across my work as a fractional Chief of Staff / operations leader and an early leadership partner, I’ve scaled organizations through major inflection points—taking a grassroots nonprofit to international recognition and expanding a membership organization through 11+ hires in six months. I also implement AI-driven workflow automation and reporting systems to remove bottlenecks, improve execution velocity, and keep stakeholders aligned.
