CHIEF OF STAFF MATCHMAKING

You're the visionary. We find your right hand.

The Chief Code matches CEOs, founders and entrepreneurs with experienced Chiefs of Staff, then stays with both sides through the first months of the partnership.

Most founders reach a point where too much runs through them

We help founders who have reached the point where too much runs through them. A Chief of Staff takes ownership of priorities, follow-through and the work between teams, so the founder can spend time on decisions only the founder can make. We define the role with you, find the person and set the partnership up to last.

Who It's For

For CEOs and founders

You're doing too much and delegating too little, and you're not sure whether the answer is a COO, an EA or something in between. We help you figure out the role first. The right Chief of Staff anticipates what's coming and owns the how while you lead the why, and many founders find they gain a trusted sounding board for decisions.

For Operators

You're the person the team leans on when priorities collide, and you like owning the how. Whether your title has been Chief of Staff, executive assistant or director of operations, we'll introduce you to founders who are ready to invest in senior support. Expectations are set before day one, and we coach you through the first months in the role.

How It Works

  1. Apply + Align
    We learn your goals, working style and non-negotiables, and define what the role needs to own.

  2. Curated Matches
    You meet a short list of people chosen for fit with your stage and style, whether you're hiring or stepping into the role.

  3. Onboarding + Ongoing Support
    We set up the first 90 days with tools, coaching and check-ins so the partnership gets traction early.

Questions founders ask us

  1. What does a Chief of Staff do?
    A Chief of Staff owns the CEO's priorities across the company, running the operating rhythm, driving follow-through on decisions and protecting the CEO's time for the work that needs them.

  2. When should I hire one?
    When priorities need ongoing coordination across teams and too many decisions wait on you. Most founders feel it as a growing gap between what they decide and what gets done.

  3. How is a Chief of Staff different from an EA or a COO?
    An executive assistant manages the CEO's time and logistics, while a COO runs operations as a line executive. A Chief of Staff works across both and extends the CEO's reach on strategy and execution, and we help you decide which role fits before you hire.

Founded by operators who have done the job

The Chief Code was founded by operators who have sat on both sides of the table. We've supported visionaries and run the show behind the scenes for founders, fund managers, creators, CEOs and fast-scaling startups, and we build each match around the person and the stage the company is in.
