You are driving home to Metro Detroit after a conference, and your notes app is full of half-started projects: the hire you meant to post, the vendor you meant to call back, the plan you sketched during the keynote. Each one felt urgent when you wrote it down.
A fractional chief of staff turns that list into a plan. They sort what matters, assign owners, follow up on every open item, prepare you for your meetings and make sure the decisions you make actually get done.
Ideas stop dying in your phone. Each week you see what moved, what is stuck and what needs you, and your team learns that a decision from you means something will happen.

A chief of staff is the owner's right hand. They turn the owner's priorities into projects, keep the team on track, prepare meetings, follow up on decisions and protect the owner's time. A fractional chief of staff does this part time, often for owners who have outgrown an assistant but are not ready for a COO.
An executive assistant manages your calendar, travel and inbox. A chief of staff manages your priorities and the people working on them. The assistant makes sure you show up to the meeting, and the chief of staff makes sure the meeting leads somewhere.
A COO runs the operations of the whole business. A chief of staff runs the owner's agenda and the special projects that do not fit inside daily operations. Many owners bring in a chief of staff first and grow into a COO later.
Cost depends on how many projects are in flight, how many people the role coordinates and how much meeting prep and calendar work you want included. Owners with one big initiative need less time than owners juggling several. We land on a fixed monthly fee together after a short call.
It works best when you share everything: your calendar, your notes, the projects you are worried about. Meet briefly at the start and end of each week. Let them speak for you on follow-ups, and back them up when they hold the team to a date.
Costs nothing up front, but projects stall and you become the only memory in the company.
Valuable in a larger company, a big role to fill for an owner who needs part-time follow-through.
A part-time chief of staff who runs your priorities, follows up on everything and sends a weekly briefing.
