We place Chiefs of Staff into high-trust private environments where confidentiality is non-negotiable and priorities move quickly. This role only works with real access and defined authority.
We run discreet, controlled searches designed for Private and Family Offices. Many Chief of Staff hires are replacement or transition hires, so confidentiality and staged disclosure are part of the process.
We define the Chief of Staff as the person who turns the principal’s priorities into execution and keeps the office operating cleanly as complexity rises.
They sit at the centre of:
If they cannot convene the right people and close decisions, the title is cosmetic.
Hire when priorities are sound but execution is inconsistent because the office has outgrown informal coordination.
This is usually the right hire when:

For comparisons:
Compensation depends on authority, breadth, and proximity to the principal. We share ranges and drivers once mandate and access are clear.
If you are hiring a Chief of Staff for a family office, we can help you shape mandate, access, and success measures before we approach the market.
Contact us and we will respond discreetly.
