Ambient
Ambient is a San Francisco startup building an AI Chief of Staff - a shared brain for leadership teams that pulls context scattered across meetings, chat, email, and docs and organizes it around the initiatives that matter. Founded in 2023 by Lawrence Coburn, Brandon Catcho, and Taylor McLoughlin, the product delivers daily prep dossiers, secure meeting notes, and red/yellow/green tracking on make-or-break initiatives for CEOs, Chiefs of Staff, and BizOps teams.
Brittainy Lovett
Brittainy Lovett is a Meta operator who works inside the Office of the CEO, one of the highest-trust seats in a 77,000-person company. A Northwestern-trained mechanical engineer who started in consulting at Deloitte, she has built a career on privacy critical incident response - the unglamorous, high-stakes work of keeping user data safe when something goes wrong. Based in New York, she is the kind of behind-the-scenes operator who makes very large machines run quietly.
Anne Murray
Anne Murray is the Executive Business Partner in the Office of the CEO at Karat, the Seattle company that runs technical interviews as a service for companies hiring software engineers. She is the person who keeps a fast-moving executive suite running: calendars, communications, relationships, and the thousand small logistics behind a Series C startup. Before Karat she spent years as a senior executive assistant to C-suite leaders at Outreach and Zillow Group, ran her own consulting shop, and worked inside the studio that built Second Life. She is also connected to Karat's Brilliant Black Minds initiative, the company's mission to open access to engineering careers.
Caitlyn Pang
Caitlyn Pang is Director, Office of the CEO at InstaLILY AI, the New York startup building vertical AI teammates for the physical goods economy. A behind-the-scenes operator who works as a fractional Chief of Staff and COO, she is the person founders lean on to keep teams aligned and turn chaos into a plan. She sharpened that instinct through crisis years at the global nonprofit Mercy Corps, where she stepped up to support the CEO and cover the global board, and it traces back to her days reporting for The Harvard Crimson.
Eugénie Fontugne
Eugénie Fontugne is a Swiss-French operator who runs Strategy & Operations inside the Office of the CEO at Inkitt, the reader-powered, AI-driven publishing startup behind the Galatea app. She built a career that jumped from selling chocolate and flavor at Firmenich to leading community at Global Shapers Geneva, writing about French food and culture for MerciSF in the Bay Area, advising the AI firm VCG.AI, and pulling together a 90-person Lovable x Project Europe hackathon in Stockholm on little more than a walk-around-London hunch. She works where storytelling, product, and operations overlap.
Jack Milwid
Jack Milwid is a scientist-turned-company-builder who sits in the Office of the CEO at Lila Sciences, the Flagship Pioneering venture chasing 'scientific superintelligence' through autonomous AI-run laboratories. A materials engineer with a Harvard-MIT PhD, he has spent his career founding biotech companies from scratch - among them Sana Biotechnology, Neon Therapeutics, Cobalt Biomedicine and Kaleido Biosciences - and co-founded the investment firm Related Sciences. His trademark is turning early science into operating companies.
Jerod Nelsen
Jerod Nelsen is a forward-deployed engineer and deployment strategist working out of the Office of the CEO at Peregrine, the San Francisco data platform that Sequoia valued at $2.5 billion for untangling the disparate systems public safety agencies rely on. A 6'7" former Princeton volleyball captain who studied Operations Research and Financial Engineering, he graduated summa cum laude in 2022, added a master's from Penn in 2024, and passed through EY-Parthenon and Audax before landing at one of the fastest-scaling govtech companies in the country. He sits where the code meets the customer: turning tangled agency data into something an analyst can actually search.
Nina Eiböck
Nina Eiböck is the Finance & Strategic Ops Lead in the Office of the CEO at Ello, the San Francisco edtech building the world's first AI reading coach for young children. An Austrian-raised, Oxford- and Stanford-trained financier, she left investment banking at J.P. Morgan and energy-sector finance to help run the numbers and the strategy behind a Series A startup teaching kids to read. She is the kind of operator who names her pet rabbits after Napoleon and Warren Buffett.
Rachel Seevers
Rachel Seevers is a Strategy Associate in the Office of the CEO at The Nuclear Company, America's nuclear infrastructure platform. A Lexington, Kentucky native, she made her name as a teenage inventor - winning the $50,000 Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award in 2019 for a jellyfish-inspired underwater propulsion device that improved efficiency by up to 37 percent, after earlier building the patent-pending 'Virtual Winglet' aircraft wing over 7,000 hours of work. She studied mechanical engineering and education at Harvard, cut her professional teeth as a Deloitte analyst, and founded STEM programs to bring girls and underserved kids into science. Now she brings that biomimic's eye for efficiency to the hard problem of building nuclear fleets on time and on budget.
Shiri Gil
Shiri Gil works in the Office of the CEO at Vega, the New York and Israel-based cybersecurity company building a federated Security Analytics Mesh that raised a $120M Series B in February 2026. A former Israeli military intelligence team leader turned operator, she pairs a Columbia cognitive science degree with hands-on marketing-technology and operations experience from Deloitte and earlier roles. She sits at the operational center of one of the fastest-funded security startups of the moment.
Ulysse Saltiel
Ulysse Saltiel is an Associate in the Office of the CEO at Armada, the San Francisco edge-computing company building modular data centers and connectivity for the planet's most remote corners. A 2025 Pepperdine graduate who double-majored in finance and philosophy and finished summa cum laude, he founded the Pepperdine Finance Society and built the Coastal Capital Summit from a 50-person idea into a 350-plus person flagship event that has funneled students into JP Morgan, Citigroup and beyond. He came up through wealth management at Bordeaux Wealth Advisors and Pepperdine's $1.5B endowment office before landing at the right hand of Armada's leadership.
Vip Andleigh
Vip Andleigh is Head of Strategy & Operations and Office of the CEO at Moloco, the machine-learning advertising company based in Menlo Park.

Earlier he was a strategy consultant at McKinsey & Company. He holds an MBA from Wharton and a double-major BA from UC Berkeley.
Winston Lin
