Chief-of-Staff Support for Founders & Growing Businesses

You got the round. Now you’re the bottleneck on your flight path. 🚧 The inbox, the calendar, the half-built workflows, the pipeline that only moves if you push it: Every hour you spend there is an hour you’re not spending on product, customers, or the next raise. You don’t need another task-doer. You need someone to run the machine for you so you can focus on the things only a founder can do. This is the part I play. 👋 Hey there, I’m John. For 10+ years, I’ve been the operational right hand to founders & executives. The one who makes “I’ll get to it” into “it’s already handled.” My clients not only get their time back but also get clarity and certainty that the engine works, whether they are in the room or not. ⚙️ ⚡ How I Make Leverage: I am not a menu of services. I am one role, your operational backbone. These are the levers I pull to keep you off the critical path: 📈 I keep your pipeline flowing. With Apollo, Snov, and Hunter, I build outreach systems that generate qualified prospects on autopilot, so growth doesn’t stop whenever you get pulled into a fire. 🗓️ I guard your time. Complex travel, back-to-back calendars, and stakeholder comms are managed so you show up ready every time with zero prep on your side. ✅ I operate your operations. I organize task workflows in ClickUp and Asana, manage contractors and team members, and set up accountability systems to keep projects on track when you’re heads down or out of the room. 📥 I have your inbox. Triage. Customer responses. Follow-ups. In your tone of voice. So your inbox becomes a tool, not a guilt pile. 🔍 I’ll find you answers. Competitive research. Market analysis. Clean data. Wrapped up so you can make confident decisions fast. 🤖AI Leverage, Founder Judgment: I use AI (Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude) to operate at startup speed without bypassing steps. Each output is reviewed and aligned with your voice before it reaches you. You get the throughput of automation and the judgment of an operator who has seen what breaks at scale.” 🛠️ Tech Stack Ops & PM: ClickUp, Trello, Slack, Asana AI & Automation: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude Productivity: Microsoft 365, Google Workspace Growth & Outreach Apollo, Snov, Hunter, FindThatLead Comms And Support: Zendesk, Microsoft Teams, Zoom 🤝 Who I work best with? Founders and business owners at the early stage of their business who are good at doing everything themselves and are ready to confidently outsource operational tasks. If you’re scaling your business, protective of your runway, and prefer to work with one reliable operator vs. a rotating cast of freelancers, we’ll connect quickly. I build long-term partnerships, not gigs. I know your business well enough to anticipate the next problem, and I’m here with the solution before it becomes a fire. 💬 Let’s Talk: Drop me a note about the one thing that's eating your week right now. I’ll tell you how I’d take it off your plate. No pitch, just a clean opening. "If it lands, we'll go from there."
