I’m Michelle Powers, and I'm here to bring order to chaos.
The first time I worked as Chief of Staff to a CEO, I was hooked. I love being in the passenger seat, map and compass in hand, helping to define the route to our destination.
The COS role allows me to use my skills in strategic thinking, project management, and fierce prioritization in service of you and your business.
Being a solopreneur or small business owner does not mean you need to go it alone. Let's join forces.
