Devin W.

Chief of Staff & Executive Business Partner | Operator. Executor. Building the Systems That Let Leaders Move Faster

I am a San Francisco-based Chief of Staff and senior executive partner with 10+ years embedded at the leadership level of high-growth SaaS companies. My work sits at the intersection of strategic execution and operational infrastructure: building the systems that let executives move faster, owning the cross-functional work that does not have a natural home anywhere else, and serving as the trusted right hand that founders and CEOs rely on when the stakes are high.

I bring the same capability to executive partnership. At Amazon Web Services I supported a VP leading a 500-person global marketing organization, and across every role I have held I have been the person who keeps the principal focused, protected, and prepared for whatever is next.

Fractional work is not new territory for me. I have moved between embedded and full-time engagements throughout my career and find the fractional model genuinely well-suited to how I operate. I ramp quickly, build trust fast, and deliver the kind of senior-level leverage that most early and growth-stage companies cannot justify hiring full-time but absolutely need.

If you are a founder or executive who needs someone to own the operating system, clear the cross-functional friction, and make sure nothing important falls through the cracks, that is exactly the work I am built for.
