You are the engine behind the engine. You’ll partner directly with the CEO/founder to manage high-impact projects, align stakeholders, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. You’ll take ownership of execution, accountability, and coordination across ventures. Your goal: allow the CEO to operate at the highest level, free from operational friction.
You will:
Serve as an integrator, driving alignment across businesses

Communication & Stakeholder Management
Serve as primary liaison with internal and external stakeholders
Ensure alignment, follow-ups, and clarity of expectation across teams

Prepare briefing docs, agendas, pre-reads, and post-mortems for meetings
Meeting Logistics
Organize, run, and follow-up on key meetings (leadership, board, etc.)
Prepare presentations, decks, memos, and strategic summaries
Personal & Boundary Support
Handle select personal/administrative overflow (as agreed)
