We place strategic Chiefs of Staff who amplify leadership impact and drive organizational alignment.

The Chief of Staff plays a pivotal role in translating strategy into execution – serving as a force multiplier for senior leadership. Whether supporting a CEO, CFO, or Operating Partner, the Chief of Staff ensures priorities are executed efficiently across functions, teams, and initiatives. They bring structure, foresight, and follow-through to fast-moving environments, helping leaders stay focused on value creation and long-term objectives.

In private equity–backed and high-growth companies, the role has evolved into a critical link between strategy and operations. Chiefs of Staff manage cross-functional initiatives, oversee communications and planning, and often drive key transformation or integration efforts. They combine analytical thinking with emotional intelligence, ensuring leadership teams are aligned, informed, and performing at their best.

ECA Partners recruits Chiefs of Staff who deliver measurable impact. Our candidates bring consulting-grade problem solving, operational discipline, and the adaptability required to succeed in dynamic, investor-backed settings. Whether building the office of the CEO or supporting enterprise transformation, ECA identifies leaders who create clarity, accountability, and momentum.
