Wife. Mom of four. Two English Bulldogs. Perpetually too many tabs open. And a career that took about six detours to get here.
I'm Stephanie Bennett. I'm based in Alpharetta, GA, originally from Florida, and I have been professionally figuring things out since before that was a job title.I started in sales and eventually ran teams. That taught me how to read a room, manage competing priorities, and stay useful when things are messy. Which, it turns out, is basically the entire job description for a Chief of Staff. I found my way into the CoS world and never looked back.
Now I work as a fractional CoS, supporting multiple clients across startups, SMBs, and enterprises. No two weeks look the same. I am also a Fellow at the CoS Roundtable, the founder of AI Empowered CoS, and I built ForceVue with my husband because we needed a tool that did not exist yet.
I use AI in real client work every week. Not in demos, not in experiments. In actual deliverables with actual stakes. That is where CoS Signal comes from.
If you are a CoS or EA trying to figure out AI without the hype, this is for you.
Most AI content is written for developers and founders. It assumes you have time to experiment, are comfortable with technical language, and that no one is waiting on you to get back to them. Chiefs of Staff and EAs have none of that.
CoS Signal is a weekly newsletter built for operators. Every issue has one practical use case from real CoS work, one prompt you can copy and use today, and a filtered read on what is actually worth paying attention to in the AI space right now. Honest about what works. Honest about what does not. No breathless takes about how AI is changing everything.
It reads in about three minutes. That is on purpose.
No hype. No "AI will change everything" takes. Just what's actually useful, written by someone in the seat.
