GCC Chief of Staff Virtual Meetup

We're excited to bring the Chief of Staff Network (COSN) community back together in Dubai and across the GCC for our next virtual gathering. Following a thoughtful and highly engaging launch session, we're continuing to build a community of Chiefs of Staff and senior operators who can learn from one another, share challenges, and build meaningful connections across the region. A special thank you to Yacine Gaye for leading and hosting the Dubai community. Date & Time: July 22, 2026 · 9:15 AM – 10:00 AM GST Location: Virtual / Zoom This virtual roundtable is designed to bring together Chiefs of Staff and adjacent operators across the UAE and GCC region for a focused, peer-driven discussion. Our first session proved that meaningful conversations don't require large groups. The discussion covered everything from executive focus and strategic prioritization to the realities of balancing reactive demands with long-term initiatives. We're looking forward to continuing those conversations and welcoming new voices into the community. We'll keep the same interactive roundtable format, with discussion shaped by the real challenges participants are facing today. As part of registration, you'll have the opportunity to share a question or challenge you'd like to discuss with the group. Discussion themes Topics will be driven by attendees, but may include: Supporting principals through H2 priorities and planning Balancing urgent requests with strategic work Building operating rhythms that drive execution Navigating ambiguity, alignment, and stakeholder management Lessons learned from fellow Chiefs of Staff across the region What to expect A small-group, interactive discussion format Peer learning and problem-solving Honest conversations about the realities of the CoS role Opportunities to connect with fellow operators across the GCC An invitation to join the growing local community beyond the event Who is this event for? This session is designed for Chiefs of Staff, Founders' Associates, BizOps leaders, strategy professionals, and senior operators based in the UAE and across the GCC region.
