A podcast about the people who run the executive office at hyper-growth companies. The chiefs of staff, the executive assistants, the heads of operations — the function that holds it all together.
Marin runs the principal's office at a defense-tech company prepping its founder for a Senate visit. She walks through the eleven-day clock, the four agencies in the room, and the part of the job nobody puts on a job description.
The function exists at every company that scales. The craft is almost never written about. There is no canonical book. There is no industry conference of any consequence.
The community is private Slack groups, WhatsApp threads, and quiet meals between people doing the same impossible job at different companies.
Front Office is the first podcast designed for those people, and built from inside their reality.
Priya's founder told her on a Friday they were opening London. Six weeks later the office was open. She walks through the lease, the local payroll, the vendor stack she built from scratch.
Evelyn manages the operating cadence for a climate founder who is on four continents this month. Eight time zones. Three boards. Systems built when nobody told her to.
Camille's CEO just hired the company's first Head of Investor Relations. The handoff is six months of work disappearing from her desk and reappearing on someone else's.
Tatum's company closed an $80M Series B ninety days ago. Headcount doubled. The vendor stack she set up at thirty people is breaking at sixty. A clean read on a job outgrowing its first version.
Annika runs operations for a Boston-based principal who is also a board member at three public companies. Same cadence as a startup chief of staff, with three differences.
Jordan's job is to negotiate vendor relationships on behalf of forty portfolio companies. What changes when you stop buying for one company and start buying for forty.
Every Front Office guest receives an invitation to the next EA Society dinner — the private peer network for chiefs of staff and executive assistants supporting Boston's most influential principals.
Twelve curated evenings per year. Private rooms. Invitation only. Modeled after the peer-driven principles of elite executive networks. No pitch. No press.
