About Nova
Our founder Maggie Olson created Nova Chief of Staff to meet the needs of current or aspiring business leaders.
Nova's consulting, recruiting, team training, and first-of-its-kind certification tracks are designed from real-world experience to educate and elevate professionals and organizations looking to maximize impact.
Our “Why”
Today’s business landscape needs knowledgeable people to fill crucial Chief of Staff (CoS) roles, but there are few accessible resources to learn about and develop the position, let alone practice its responsibilities before the stakes are high.
We launched Nova Chief of Staff to bring more clarity to the important—but often ambiguous—world surrounding an effective CoS, so that people and organizations motivated toward the role can truly shine.
