Coaching to unlock your full potential
For Chiefs of Staff at every stage
It’s my belief that the wisest investment of your resources and energy is one that focuses on you as a person - who you are, and the insight you bring to a company - not just theory about what the role is meant to be and what you can be trained on.
The goalposts move for a Chief of Staff all the time - especially these days - and that’s something you can’t control. You can develop yourself, though - your industry knowledge, your presence, and your resilience. This is what will help you feel conviction in your decisions, clear about your value, and equipped to handle whatever is thrown at you.
I've been there myself. I've felt the exposure, the stress of competing demands, and the pressure of being everyone's go-to person. I've also researched and studied the role, and have worked with Chiefs of Staff and their principals across most industries and levels. That all led me to the philosophy I abide by in my coaching: working on yourself is always valuable and will continue to pay dividends long into the future.
If you’re ready to build the gravitas and strategic skillset that exceptional Chiefs of Staff possess, explore the programmes designed specifically for your stage of the journey.

More about me
In my time as a Chief of Staff, consultant, and in-house strategist, I’ve worked closely with many impressive leaders and Chiefs of Staff.
The common thread is a drive to be even more effective and create even more value. I want to help you do that (without burning out).
My consulting training taught me to quickly learn new sectors, manage change, be data-driven and have a bias towards impact.
In my corporate roles, I learned how strategy meets real-world realities, and how to bridge the gap.
As a Chief of Staff, I saw firsthand the pressure CEOs and leadership teams face - the responsibility, the need to stay ahead, and the weight of big decisions. (I also felt the challenges of mastering the COS role .)
I support organisations and Chiefs of Staff with an outside-in perspective, top-tier strategy expertise, and strategic advisory and coaching.
Where I’ve worked
Quick podcast break
A chief of staff can be instrumental to a CEO's success while also advancing their own career.
While the role’s variability and intensity make it challenging, they also make it exciting. I recorded a podcast discussing this for McKinsey’s Inside the Strategy Room series.

When I was a Chief of Staff, people often asked what my title meant.
I found it hard to answer! I know others do too. The role defies definition. No two are the same, just as no two CEOs are the same, yet every Chief of Staff has the potential to drive outsized impact.
Whether you’re an organisation looking for Chief of Staff consulting, or a Chief of Staff seeking strategic coaching or advisory, get in touch - I’d be delighted to explain how I work and see if it’s a fit.
