About this event
A cozy, informal breakfast for Chiefs of Staff and CEO right hands.
It’s one of the most influential roles in a growing company, and one of the most misunderstood. Here’s a chance to compare notes with people who get it:
What you own, and when is the CEO involved
How to move the company forward
Where the role leads next
Format: one cozy table, 5-7 people, good coffee and brunch, open conversation. No pitches, no panels, no slides.
Who it’s for: current or former Chiefs of Staff, Fractional CEOs, and anyone working as a CEO’s right hand, whatever the title. A few seats are open for founders looking for their next right hand or wanting to understand the role better.
Chatham House rule: nothing said is attributed to anyone.
Hosted by Yulia, interim operator, M&A and Growth Advisor for DACH scale-ups. I’m writing an essay on the Chief of Staff role and would love to hear how it looks from the inside. Anything I use will be anonymous.
