I'm an experienced startup Chief of Staff; I served as a fractional Chief of Staff for 10+ companies as a self-employed startup consultant, and later joined one of my clients (a YCombinator-backed leading Democratic political tech startup) in-house as founding Chief of Staff. I was later promoted to COO of the same company, which I led for several years until the company's acquisition by ActBlue in 2025. Importantly, I've been an informal leadership coach and Chief of Staff mentor to numerous peers and junior staffers along my journey. I have formal experience developing a coaching and professional development program for second-in-command executives. I'm extremely familiar with the unique dynamics and demands of the Chief of Staff role - as a middleman between executives and staff, as a combined strategist-and-executor, and all of the other many ways that being a Chief of Staff is different than almost any other role in the professional world. I'm here to help you find a Chief of Staff role for the first time, and/or navigate a new role as a Chief of Staff.

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.
