A GREAT CHIEF OF STAFF SHOULD BE AN ADVISOR, A STRATEGIST, A DOER AND A DIPLOMAT. EVERY COMPANY HAS ITS OWN LANGUAGE, AND IT’S MY JOB TO BECOME FLUENT FAST.

The Chief of Staff role isn’t always well understood in the SME world. In practice, it’s shape-shifting: part strategist, part operator, part trusted sounding board. Sometimes it looks like a Chief Strategy Officer or Strategic Advisor, other times more like an Operating Partner or even parts of a COO’s remit. Think of it as the connective tissue between vision and execution.

On a fractional basis, I partner with founders, executives and creatives in tech, entertainment and the creative sectors. During pivotal moments of development, growth and change, I bring clarity, alignment and momentum so leaders can focus on what matters most.

How I can help 

• Executive Partnership - Having advised senior leaders at Netflix, Universal and beyond, I know the value of a trusted right hand in high-pressure moments. I partner with founders to cut through the noise, structure decisions, and bring focus where it’s most needed.
  
  Outcome: clarity at the top, alignment across the team
  
  

• Strategic Communications - Drawing on 20 years in comms, I refine and shape brand and executive narratives for investors, media, clients and teams.
  
  Outcome: a story everyone (internal and external) can understand and champion
  
  

• Leadership Alignment & Culture - I’ve led global launches across multi-disciplinary teams, so I know how critical collaboration is under pressure. I help founders and leadership teams align on priorities, close gaps, and embed the culture that drives growth.
  
  Outcome: stronger collaboration, reduced silos, healthier culture
  
  

• Execution & Operations Support - From building Netflix’s EMEA publicity team, to launching brands in new markets, I’ve seen how teams thrive with just enough structure to stay aligned. I blend creative problem-solving with structured execution to help founders and teams create simple rhythms and frameworks that free time and headspace.
  
  Outcome: priorities get delivered without chaos, freeing leadership to focus on strategy
  
  

• Special Projects & Innovation - Taking ownership of critical initiatives that don’t fit neatly in existing roles (e.g. launches, partnerships, internal initiatives)
  
  Outcome: high-impact projects move forward instead of stalling
