Second Chair.
A waitlist for the right hands of growing companies — and the founders looking for them.
Most founders don't need another founder. They need a second chair. The person who runs operations next to them. The Chief of Staff. The COO. The Head of Ops. The right hand.
I've spent most of my career being that person, and most of my work now is building the systems they walk into.
Second Chair is the room where I bring the two sides together — the operators, and the founders looking for them. This page is a waitlist for both.
Looking for your second in command?
If you need a Chief of Staff, COO, Head of Ops, or right-hand operator — tell me what you're looking for. I'll match you when I find the right person.
Most of the operators I'd recommend aren't on the open market. They're people I know personally, have worked with, or have been quietly tracking.
Selective and unhurried.
Are you a right hand?
If you're a Chief of Staff, a fractional COO, a Head of Ops, or the operator behind a founder — and you want to be matched with the kinds of companies I work with — join The Bench.
You'll hear from me when:
- I'm placing operators into companies I've already worked with
- The operator-side product I'm building opens
- There's a Second Chair gathering, conversation, or cohort
Private list. No spam, no funnels. Just the work.
The right founder-operator pairing is the most underrated leverage in business. Pull up a chair.
