I recently did an internship for learning with the Chief of Staff Team (CoST) to CEO, specifically with Laurel Farrer on TeamOps. Since the internship is quite different from my regular work, I thought it best to do a blog post on it and reflect on the experience.

Reflection: Acting Chief of Staff to CTO at GitLab
For our company’s fourth quarter (Q4, November 2022 to January 2023), I was the Acting Chief of Staff to CTO.
