Fractional Chief of Staff Services

For leaders and founders

You're a founder with a brilliant mind and an amazing vision. Your team is pretty remarkable too. But to close your next round or hit growth targets, you'll need more than just intellectual horsepower.

As a fractional Chief of Staff, I deliver strategic clarity, operational efficiency, and executive bandwidth—ensuring that vision flows into tangible results. And as an outsider, I can spot quick wins fast.

Maybe one day you'll bring on a full-time COS; for now, get top-tier consulting and industry gravitas without the hefty investment or onboarding hassle. Sound good? Schedule a quick, complimentary diagnostic call, and I'll listen to your challenges and map out how I can help.

For Chiefs of Staff - aspiring and current

You're a Chief of Staff, or you want to be one, and you’re driven to excel. You want to feel confident in your decisions, your advice, and your approach.

Maybe you’re strong on the relationship side but want to level up in the strategic and analytic work. Or perhaps you're going to be new to the organisation and need to quickly navigate its politics to make an impact. Chances are, you're an accomplished leader in your own right—yet suddenly, you find yourself operating under an invisibility cloak of sorts.

I get it—I’ve been there. And I’ve worked with and interviewed countless Chiefs of Staff who’ve faced these exact challenges (and more). That’s why I created my programme — it’s coaching designed for Chiefs of Staff, by a Chief of Staff.

Meet Poppy

In my time as a Chief of Staff, management consultant, and in-house strategist, I’ve worked closely with brilliant leaders and Chiefs of Staff. The common thread? A drive to be even more effective, create more value, and lead at a higher level. I’m here 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. But in industry, 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 this unique role.

That’s why I support leaders and Chiefs of Staff with my outside-in perspective, top-tier strategy expertise, and tailored, judgement-free coaching.

When I was a Chief of Staff, people often asked what my title meant.

I came to see that 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.

That’s why supporting both leaders and Chiefs of Staff matters—it strengthens partnerships, sharpens strategy, and ensures the Chief of Staff is amplifying leadership.
