From Consultant to Chief of Staff to the CEO | Breaking into the CoS Role
I'm currently Chief of Staff to the CEO of a private equity-backed global software company, where I lead cross-functional initiatives spanning AI strategy, long-range planning, board and investor governance, corporate development, and executive decision support. Before stepping into this role, I spent nearly a decade at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), advising Fortune 500 CEOs and executive teams on many of the same challenges Chiefs of Staff are hired to tackle: strategy development, transformation, organizational design, operating model effectiveness, and executive alignment. What makes the Chief of Staff role unique is that success depends on far more than strategy skills. The best Chiefs of Staff know how to influence without authority, manage competing priorities, build trust with senior leaders, navigate ambiguity, and help CEOs operate more effectively. These are skills that are rarely taught but are often what determine who gets hired and who succeeds. Whether you're exploring a transition into a Chief of Staff role, preparing for interviews, evaluating opportunities, or looking to accelerate your effectiveness in a current role, I can help you understand what CEOs and hiring managers are actually looking for, position your experience effectively, and develop the skills required to thrive in the seat. The Chief of Staff role can be one of the most rewarding and career-accelerating positions in business. I'll help you approach it with clarity, confidence, and a realistic understanding of what it takes to succeed.
