About Heather Higgins
As an accomplished Chief of Staff, I drive P&L goal success for CEOs and their Leadership Teams by building a culture of co-elevation and trust that enables consensus-building, high performance, and accountability for strategic priorities. I manage the executive’s priorities to ensure their vision is organized, communicated, and executed throughout the organization in alignment with the company values. I find it deeply rewarding to help CEOs and their teams set and reach aspirational goals. Pattern recognition is my superpower. From the unique vantage point as the Chief of Staff, I listen, observe, and act. I use my exceptional organization, planning, and follow through skills to proactively identify blind spots, pain points, and opportunities, improve processes, and project manage the tactical execution of strategic plans and initiatives.On a personal level, I have propulsive drive, impeccable organizational skills, and am highly adaptable to diverse personalities and shifting priorities. I stay ahead of the curve and solve problems preemptively. I create diverse, equitable, inclusive workplaces where everyone can feel they belong and can thrive. I am a sponge for new information and a seeker of better ways of doing things. I am caring, kind, funny, and calm under pressure.
