Zach’s Chief of Staff Qualifications
Experience level: Manager
I've served as chief of staff to a GVP-level executive at ServiceNow, embedded inside a 125+ person AI Product organization — owning executive communications, strategic planning, OKRs, budget, and headcount, while acting as the connective tissue between executive vision and field execution. I stepped into an interim chief of staff role and earned it permanently within a month based on impact. I know how to build trust fast, synthesize signal from a matrixed organization, and turn ambiguity into a narrative and plan leadership can act on. Core competencies: Executive Communications • Strategic Planning & OKRs • Budget & Headcount Management • Cross-Functional Alignment • Board & Investor Content • Organizational Strategy • Stakeholder Management
