Why this topic matters

You’ve taken the course. You’ve read the books. You’ve crushed the deliverables. It’s not your skills holding you back — it’s the career demons you can’t see. I know, because I lived it: “Let the work speak.” “Don’t rock the boat.” “Be perfect before you’re visible.” You can’t fight what you can’t name. Let’s start.

Chief of Staff @ Google, 12+ yrs, Killing career demons for high-achievers

I’ve spent the past 12+ years at Google, navigating everything from consumer marketing to marketing operations to scaled operations. Now, as a Chief of Staff, I focus on making execution seamless for leadership and teams.


Along the way, I’ve learned how to:

✅ Work across a massive org and drive alignment across teams

✅ Bridge the gap between strategy and execution (because both matter)

✅ Understand what execs actually need from a Chief of Staff—and how to deliver it


I also help individual contributors navigate the corporate world, work loudly (without the cringe), and get promoted faster.


I’m here to share the lessons, the wins, and the challenges that come with the Chief of Staff role.
