When most people hear “chief of staff,” they think of government officials. But the chief of staff role has quietly been gaining traction in the private sector too. From CEOs of global corporations to founders of growing startups, leaders look to chiefs of staff to help them orchestrate cross-functional projects, manage communication streams, and make effective decisions. 

Recently, Clara Ma, program director of On Deck’s Chief of Staff Fellowship, moderated a panel of fellowship alumni and chiefs of staff Ellise McDonald of Wise Systems, Kevin Dious of Reddit, and Matt Donne of Spring Discovery.
