Why this Chief of Staff résumé works
- The role is measured by what closed, not meetings attended: decisions closed within two weeks rose from 44% to 91%, and on-time delivery of committed work from 52% to 87%.
- The $38M acquisition is written with the result that matters a year later, 90 employees integrated at 94% retention, which is the evidence a CEO needs before handing over the next deal.
- Board work is concrete: 14 consecutive board packages and the deck cut from 62 slides to 24 by moving detail into a pre-read, a small change any board member would notice.
- The Salter & Vaughn consulting years show the analytical base, $9.4M of overlap found in a merger model, while the part-time MBA at Boston University is marked as in progress rather than implied as finished.
Chief of Staff résumé: common questions
What should a chief of staff resume include?
The size of the company and who you report to, the operating rhythm you own (planning, board materials, executive meetings), and measurable outcomes: on-time delivery, decisions closed, deals or integrations landed. Strategy or consulting background belongs below with one or two numbers per role.
How do you show impact as a chief of staff when the work is behind the scenes?
Pick changes that would not have happened without you and give before and after figures: a planning process rebuilt, a board deck shortened, a decision log that raised the share of decisions closed. Name the result, not the meetings.
