Being the connective tissue of a company is a role few people truly understand.
You sit closest to strategy, and you're the one turning leadership's decisions into things that actually ship — usually by stitching context together across a dozen tools with no playbook.
Join a small group of Chiefs of Staff and fellow operators for an off-the-record roundtable and dinner, hosted by Airtable's Nicole Hicks and Lindsay Selbak, to compare notes on how the best in the role build their operating system.
Frameworks for driving prioritization and decision cadence for the leaders you support
Tactics for influence across the org — rallying cross-functional teams around a shared goal
Peer-tested ways to tame tool sprawl and build a single source of truth
A network of Chiefs of Staff navigating the same challenges you are
Nicole joined Airtable as employee 70 and grew with it past 900, expanding her scope at every stage. Now, as Chief of Staff to the VPs of a 200+ person product and engineering org, she leads the product operations team building the systems — increasingly run by AI agents — that power how the org plans, decides, and reports.
Lindsay joined Airtable in early 2021 to build the Operations function within the CFO org. As Head of Finance & Operations, she leads finance operations, program management, and procurement — partnering with executives to set strategy and drive the company's most strategic cross-functional initiatives.
