Aide-de-Camp is a private services and executive assistance firm built for chief executives, founders, and principals whose time, focus, and reputation are non-negotiable. We operate as the senior layer between your ambitions and the friction of the day — anticipating what's next, absorbing what's noise, and handling what's confidential with the standard you'd expect of your own office.
The modern executive doesn't need
more help. They need better judgment
closer to the decision.
Today's C-suite is asked to lead across geographies, hold the line on culture, manage public perception, and still be present at home — often in the same week. Aide-de-Camp is the senior, discreet partner behind that life. Not a staffing agency, not an app, not a virtual assistant. A small, vetted team led by operators who have sat next to founders, GPs, and public-company executives, and who understand that excellence is a standard, not a deliverable.
Every engagement is shaped to the principal and protected by a mutual NDA. What follows is a snapshot of the mandates we are most often retained for — most clients begin with one and grow the relationship from there.
A senior chief-of-staff function delivered as a service. We orchestrate the calendar, triage inbound communications, prepare decision-ready briefings, and quietly translate strategy into the daily cadence of your office. The outcome: fewer interruptions, sharper focus, and meetings that move the needle.
The personal infrastructure behind a public life — vendor relationships, residence operations, family logistics, NDAs, and confidential errands. Handled by a small, vetted team that understands the standard of discretion required when your name is the brand.
Private aviation coordination, ground choreography, residences, reservations, and trusted fixers across every major market. Itineraries built around energy management — not just logistics — so you arrive prepared, not depleted.
From an intimate dinner with the board to an offsite for the leadership team — venue selection, guest experience, hospitality, production, and on-site oversight. The work is invisible; the impression is unforgettable.
Executive bios, speaking briefs, press releases, board materials, and the quiet stewardship of how you appear in the room and in the record. We protect your voice while sharpening the platforms it travels on.
A steady, senior hand when the news cycle turns, a deal goes sideways, or the personal and professional collide. Pre-built contingency playbooks, after-hours availability, and the judgment to make the next right call — without the principal having to ask.
Every principal relationship is protected by strict confidentiality. Below are anonymized illustrations of the results our clients experience — told without names, but with full accountability.
The principal was losing entire days to reactive scheduling, back-to-back calls, and last-minute additions. We rebuilt the calendar architecture from first principles: strategic blocks, protected thinking time, and a ruthless triage protocol for inbound requests. Within 90 days, scheduled meeting hours dropped by more than half. Board feedback noted a sharper, more prepared executive. The principal's comment: 'I finally have room to lead again.'
This principal was making investment and personnel calls on incomplete information, often during commutes or between meetings. We implemented a morning intelligence ritual: curated overnight news, portfolio alerts, personnel updates, and pre-drafted talking points delivered by 6:30 AM. Deals were evaluated faster. Board discussions became more confident. The firm stopped reacting and started anticipating.
A sensitive personal matter threatened to surface in the press. Within hours of the alert, we activated a pre-built crisis protocol: legal coordination, media monitoring, draft holding statements, and direct liaison with the principal's communications counsel. The story never broke. The principal's public standing remained intact. The family later described the response as 'invisible, instantaneous, and complete.'
Most relationships begin with a 90-day foundation and continue on an ongoing retainer. Every mandate is shaped to the principal — what follows is the structure we work from, including response SLAs you can plan around.
A structured engagement to install a calmer, sharper operating rhythm around the principal. Ideal for executives entering a new role, founders post-raise, or families standing up a new office.
The default partnership for sitting C-suite executives and active principals. A senior team embedded in your week, anticipating what's next and absorbing what's noise.
A complete executive office delivered as a service for public-company CEOs, ultra-high-net-worth families, and multi-residence principals. Scope is shaped to the life, not the template.
Engagement fees are confidential and shaped to scope. Figures shown are typical starting points. All retainers include a mutual NDA, a named principal lead, and a guaranteed backup.
Begin
Conversations begin with a confidential introduction call. If we are the right fit, we'll scope a 90-day engagement and assign a dedicated principal lead. If we aren't, we'll point you toward someone who is.
