DEAR MS. DOE,

Your company is currently at a stage I know all too well: post–product-market fit, growing fast, and starting to feel the strain of scale. 

These inflection points need more than just strategy. They need someone who can operationalize priorities, protect leadership focus, and keep teams moving in the right direction. That’s where I’ve consistently overdelivered.

In my current role as Chief of Staff, I’ve worked directly with the CEO to build systems that make scale sustainable and leadership more effective. Here are a few results that speak to the impact:

• 35% increase in company-wide productivity after leading a $15M transformation project that aligned leadership workflows and departmental priorities

• 15+ hours per week reclaimed by the executive team after I automated decision-making inputs, reporting, and weekly planning

• $2M in operating costs reallocated toward growth initiatives by analyzing a $20M budget and making strategic, data-driven budgeting decisions

In every role I’ve held, I’ve been the person leaders trust to turn strategic priorities into action. I specialize in building the operational infrastructure behind executive decisions, ensuring that teams are aligned, timelines are met, and the organization moves forward with clarity and precision.

As for your job opening, I’m sure that every strong Chief of Staff applying for this role brings strategic thinking and operational expertise. What sets me apart is my ability to anticipate problems three steps ahead, spot the friction before it slows things down, and implement systems that prevent problems, not just solve them.

If this is the level of operational leadership and strategic support you’re looking for, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and learn more about your priorities, where your team is headed, and how I can support your next stage of growth.

Warm regards, 

ROSALIE CRAWFORD
