Gvw Group, Llc
Description
Position at GVWGroup, LLC.
GVWGroup is a dynamic private investment and industrial holding company dedicated since 1993 to growing and starting businesses. We take an entrepreneurial approach to building value for our scalable early‑stage, high‑growth, and mid‑size operating companies by providing strategic expertise and resources. Along the way we have expanded globally into diverse industries ranging from manufacturing to technology, distribution, big data, engineering, and energy efficiency.
Summary The Chief of Staff to the Chairman is a trusted strategic executive who functions as the Chairman’s force multiplier ensuring that vision, intent, and priorities are executed with precision, velocity, and consistency across the enterprise.
This role occupies a uniquely high‑leverage seat, responsible for translating strategy into action, structuring complex initiatives, managing cross‑functional alignment, and ensuring accountability across the portfolio.
As a senior leader you will fill the voids before they are visible, stabilize chaos before it surfaces, and drive outcomes across diverse teams and contexts. You are the integrator between ambition and execution, and the embodiment of the Chairman’s operating philosophy.
Key Responsibilities Strategic Implementation & Operational Leadership
Serve as the Chairman’s senior executor, overseeing the implementation of top priorities and resolving barriers to execution across businesses, initiatives, and investments.
Translate abstract vision and directives into actionable, measurable, and delegated initiatives with clear accountability structures.
Own the rhythm of execution—ensure forward motion, mitigate inertia, and enforce results.
Cross‑Functional Alignment & Execution Discipline
Drive operational alignment across the portfolio—ensure leaders are rowing in the same direction, on time, and to scope.
Monitor enterprise‑wide initiatives with a “no‑drop” execution standard; surface issues before they become risks and resolve bottlenecks without escalation when possible.
Instill discipline, accountability, and follow‑through by creating transparency in progress, quality, and outcomes.
High‑Stakes Project & Crisis Management
Directly own mission‑critical and time‑sensitive initiatives—including M&A, transformation projects, restructurings, and special ops.
Act as interim leader in underperforming or transitional areas; stabilize and structure quickly while preparing permanent leadership solutions.
Mobilize task forces to solve emergent problems or seize fast‑moving opportunities.
Chairman Leverage & Integration
Structure, protect, and optimize the Chairman’s time, energy, and attention by serving as a problem‑preventor, integrator, and proxy where appropriate.
Maintain clear situational awareness across all strategic and operational domains the Chairman touches.
Represent the Chairman internally and externally ensuring his expectations, style, and ethos are always embedded in messaging and decisions.
Requirements Education
10–15+ years in high‑consequence environments such as top‑tier consulting, private equity, military command, investment banking, or executive operating roles in entrepreneurial, high‑growth firms.
Experience
Demonstrated success leading cross‑functional teams in ambiguous, fast‑paced, and mission‑critical contexts.
Experience reporting directly to or advising C‑level leaders, with a track record of influencing decisions at the highest levels.
Prior Chief of Staff, COO, GM, or equivalent senior roles strongly preferred.
Skills
Strategic Operator:
Can go from 30,000 feet to the ground floor, seamlessly translating strategy into structured plans and outcomes.
Executional Rigor:
Project management mastery across multiple concurrent initiatives—planning, tracking, communicating, and enforcing execution.
Financial Fluency:
Deep comfort with models, financials, valuations, forecasting, and P&L ownership.
Communication Excellence:
Writes, presents, and speaks with clarity, precision, and tone‑matching at every altitude.
Industry Exposure
Experience in industrial, manufacturing, logistics, or other B2B operational contexts is preferred but not required.
Experience navigating family‑officed dynamics or multi‑portfolio holding companies is a strong plus.
Personal Characteristics & Leadership Traits
Judgment & Discretion:
Absolute integrity and confidentiality. Trusted with sensitive decisions and information.
Loyalty & Alignment:
Unwavering alignment with the Chairman’s
