Michael’s Chief of Staff Qualifications

Experience level: Executive

10+ people coached for Chief of Staff

Michael has helped clients get into these companies:

I was the first business hire and chief of staff at Bedrock Energy, a Series A geothermal energy company. I managed to recruit for this role (as well as many other CoS positions) with 2.5 years of experience from a smaller, lesser-known consulting firm in part because of how I showcased *fit*. Non-technical / generalist roles are all about fit, which can vary based on company size or stage, CoS / principal relationship, and industry. Even as a non-technical hire, I was able to highlight my background in climate and sustainability, analytical skills, and do-it-all mentality (a good fit for an early-stage company). I'm happy to help folks recruiting for CoS / BizOps roles or early CoS's who want support thriving in a new role / company. Feel free to set up an intro call to see if I can be helpful!

About Michael

I was previously chief of staff at Bedrock Energy, an early-stage geothermal energy company, where I joined as the team's first business hire. Over two years, I helped deploy our first projects, hire a world-class team, and raise a $12M Series A. In other words: https://www.thesunion.com/news/series-a-climate-tech-startups-first-non-engineer-job-listing-combines-eleven-distinct-functions-title-is-literally-just-the-word-businessman Prior to Bedrock, I was a consultant at a leading social impact boutique, where my clients included the Gates Foundation, International Planned Parenthood Federation, and NYC Mayor's Office of Food Policy. I grew up in Southern California and like to spend as much time outside as possible, whether I'm hiking, playing beach volleyball, or answering emails.
