The Chief of Staff and Executive Assistant roles both support senior leaders but differ significantly in their scope and responsibilities.

An Executive Assistant primarily handles administrative duties such as managing schedules, arranging meetings, and handling correspondence to ensure the smooth functioning of an executive's daily activities.

A Chief of Staff, on the other hand, has a broader, more strategic role. They act as an advisor and confidante, oversee organization-wide projects, and ensure strategic initiatives are implemented effectively. While the Executive Assistant focuses on administrative support, the Chief of Staff engages in strategic management and leadership within the organization.
