Partner Spotlight: vChief
“I wish my time aligned with my priorities.”
So many leaders can resonate with that sentiment. 33Vincent partner, vChief, shares our vision of helping leaders maximize their time to align with their personal and organizational priorities. Through its two core services–Virtual Chief of Staff and Interim Leadership Staffing services–vChief supports over 100 leaders who need an operational partner to accomplish strategic initiatives and maximize their team’s effectiveness.
When working with a client that needs a Virtual Chief of Staff, vChief first completes a comprehensive needs assessment to understand the best way that the virtual chief of staff can support the organization. Start-ups, small businesses, nonprofits and education-based organizations are prime candidates for vChief’s services, and their model supports leaders who need to focus on large strategic initiatives and maximize their impact across the full organization, but don't need this role in a full-time capacity.
vChief Founder and CEO Madeleine Niebauer explains, “Our clients typically come to us because they know they aren’t spending their time as efficiently as they would like. They know what priorities they should be focusing on, but haven’t found a way to get other things off their plate to free up their time. vChief helps with all sorts of projects a CEO might otherwise be doing themselves, things like strategic planning, project management, communications, meeting planning, budgeting and more.”
A virtual Chief of Staff can lighten an executive’s load by taking over team management, meeting preparation, or leading high-stakes projects and partnerships. This role often serves as a right hand to the CEO, connecting the dots between key members of the organization and providing a unique “bird’s-eye-view” across teams and departments. A strategic Chief of Staff can be the difference between an on-time project launch, balanced budget, or manageable calendar and rushed collaboration, a misaligned team, or operational roadblocks.
Some organizations, on the other hand, don’t need a Virtual Chief of Staff but need Interim Leadership Staffing to fill critical gaps due to unexpected staff departures, parental leave, and other temporary resourcing gaps. vChief is able to satisfy these gaps with its extensive talent pool with tailored expertise, in areas like:
Management
Human resources
Operations
Communications
Strategy
Finance
vChief’s virtual network and turn-key approach to onboarding not only delivers interim support in these areas at precisely the right time, but also reduces overall team disruption and downtime, allowing a team to maintain its progress when it needs it most. vChief Chiefs of Staff are highly effective, and have a wide variety of experience across the professional landscape.
With both Chief of Staff and Interim Leadership Staffing services, vChief offers a flexible model to support leaders and teams of all types, without long-term contracts and a 30 day risk-free trial period with 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
33Vincent is proud to partner with vChief to support leaders who benefit from both Executive Assistant and Chief of Staff support. We’ve seen an Executive Assistant and Chief of Staff join forces to completely elevate an executive’s time, capacity, and focus. Madeleine shares, “We love partnering with an executive assistant to handle scheduling, travel and expenses. 33Vincent brings amazing talent on that front, and it’s a great fit for clients who need a little bit of an executive assistant plus a little bit of a chief of staff.”
