The Chief of Staff network has been incredibly helpful for me, and I honestly started seeing immediate value on Day 1 of joining.

The network offers numerous opportunities to further growth, development, and camaraderie - I think it'd be challenging to navigate the CoS role alone without this group of people.

As a Chief of Staff, I constantly wear many hats, and being a member of the Chief of Staff Network has been invaluable. The resources they provide—like templates and decks—have been essential tools in helping me navigate the diverse aspects of my role.

Amsterdam CoS Borrel (May 13)

We’re excited to bring the Chief of Staff Network (COSN) community back together in Amsterdam for our second meetup of 2026. Building on the momentum from our first gathering this year, this borrel is all about continuing to strengthen connections within the local CoS community — while also creating space for more practical, behind-the-scenes sharing. A special thank you to Trudy Westby for generously hosting and supporting the Amsterdam Chief of Staff community. Date & Time: May 14, 2026 · 6:30 PM CET Location: Shared upon confirmation of attendance This informal, in-person gathering will bring together Chiefs of Staff and adjacent operators for an evening of relaxed conversation, meaningful connections, and practical insights. Alongside open networking, we’ll introduce a light “show & tell” format, where a few attendees will walk through real examples from their day-to-day work — the systems, templates, and processes that quietly keep their organizations running. Think of it as a peek behind the curtain into how Chiefs of Staff actually operate. You might hear things like: How someone structures their weekly CEO brief and why A practical approach to running OKRs or leadership reviews A system or workflow that’s made a meaningful impact The goal is to keep things grounded, practical, and useful — with plenty of room for discussion, questions, and shared learning. What to expect A casual, welcoming borrel environment Short, practical “show & tell” moments from fellow Chiefs of Staff Meaningful conversations and peer exchange New connections within the Amsterdam CoS community Who is this event for? This meetup is for operators currently serving as Chiefs of Staff, Founders’ Associates, or in similar BizOps, strategy, or operations roles. Please include your current job title and company so we can verify your role and approve your registration. If you’re interested in connecting with peers and learning how others are solving real operational challenges, we’d love to have you join us. Attendance will be capped to keep the group intimate — please RSVP to save your spot.
