Coaching Role Design Fractional Support

Chief of Staff Coach & Advisor

Hi, I'm Tristan. I built the Chief of Staff role from scratch at a ~$450M startup through its scale-up — hiring, firing, and everything in between. Now, as a certified developmental coach, I help Chiefs of Staff and the founders they work with get clarity on the role and grow into it.

Every engagement is bespoke — shaped around your company, your stage, and the person in the seat.

Experience
How I can help

We begin with a discovery call and then see what makes the most sense. I always tailor my services to my clients' needs.

Outcomes for Chiefs of Staff
  • Clarity on the role — what the Chief of Staff job actually is for them, and the confidence to take the decisions that come with it.
  • Confidence that holds up — moving past the self-critical voice to lead in the room, often confirmed by direct feedback from their CEO and team.
  • A sustainable way to stay in it — decoupling drive from burnout, so the role becomes something they grow in rather than burn out of.
Outcomes for Executive Teams
  • A role designed on purpose — a Chief of Staff scope built around what your company actually needs, not a generic template.
  • Clarity on the mandate — clear ownership, decision rights, and boundaries, so you and your Chief of Staff aren't guessing where the role starts and stops.
  • A stronger principal–CoS partnership — the right person, set up to extend your capacity, not add another thing to manage.
