What I'm looking for

Full-time remote Executive Assistant & Chief of Staff roles. Open to fully remote part-time roles as well

Chief of staff and operations leader with 7+ years scaling teams, systems, and executive offices for general counsels, C-suites, founders, and institutional principals — including a formal Chief of Staff mandate at a New York investment firm and de facto chief-of-staff scope across every executive office since, consistently covering both the professional and personal operations of the principals supported. Track record of building SOPs from scratch, running multi-million-dollar budgets, leading recruitment and onboarding, and driving cross-functional initiatives across higher education, healthcare, retail, and investment management. Most recently extended that operating discipline into hands-on, AI-assisted engineering and business development — shipping a suite of internal tools and running outbound growth for an early-stage startup. Known for translating executive intent into operational reality with precision, discretion, and a bias toward building durable infrastructure rather than one-off fixes.
