On this episode of the Tandem Talks Podcast, Carrie and Craig speak with Madeleine Niebauer, Founder & CEO of vChief. Chiefs of Staff are not just important in politics, they are central figures that drive company growth at the highest levels too. To service this demand, Madeleine created a business that would connect independent chiefs of staff with the companies that need them the most. She shares how she discovered this niche and the initial birthing pains she experienced in building up the business. Madeleine believes in prioritizing what's most important in life. She shares that a passion for travel and being a mother are the motivators behind her philosophy of working smarter, not harder. She also explains that, aside from executing company vision, chiefs of staff need to learn the skill of letting go to be their most effective selves.
