👋 Hi, I’m Rebecca.
I help leaders gain clarity, alignment, and execution discipline.
As an Operational Effectiveness consultant and Chief of Staff coach, I work with leaders, advisors, and Chiefs of Staff to establish the right structures for decision-making, communication, and accountability—whether that means:
- serving as interim Chief of Staff to minimize costly missteps and set up the function for success,
- coaching and mentoring your current Chief of Staff, or
- optimizing operations in the absence of one.
