Ex-Google Chief of Staff | Master the Role with Insider Insights
I’ve spent much of my career working closely with leadership in fast-moving technology companies like Google and Airbnb, often at the intersection of strategy, communication, and execution. Along the way, I’ve also experienced the startup journey firsthand - working at an early-stage company that later had a successful exit to Airbnb and now advising an AI startup as it navigates growth. These experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the Chief of Staff role: a position that requires judgment, discretion, and the ability to hold both the strategic and human dynamics of an organization at once. I enjoy helping aspiring and current Chiefs of Staff grow into that kind of leadership and become trusted advisors to the executives they support.
