For Microsoft Chiefs of Staff

Helping leadership teams unlock their collective potential.

We partner with Microsoft Chiefs of Staff and leadership teams to create the clarity, trust, alignment, and momentum that turn an offsite into a year of performance.

01 / Your role

As a Chief of Staff, you play a unique role.

You help create the conditions for leaders to do their best work together - aligning priorities, strengthening connections, navigating change, and turning strategy into execution.

02 / The opportunity

As teams prepare for FY27, many will invest time bringing leaders together.

The opportunity is bigger than a successful offsite.

It's creating the clarity, trust, alignment, and momentum that enable a leadership team to perform at its best throughout the year.

That's where we can help.

03 / Who we are

Former Microsoft leaders.

We are former Microsoft leaders with experience across:

  • Sales
  • Engineering
  • Consulting
  • Culture
  • Leadership development
  • Transformation

We've spent more than 20 years inside Microsoft supporting leaders, building teams, navigating change, and helping organizations grow.

We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with leading at Microsoft because we've lived them ourselves.

05 / Our belief

The strongest leadership teams are not the ones with the smartest individuals. They are the ones that learn together, align deeply, and execute with shared purpose.

The Udamonia Labs Philosophy

If you're planning for FY27, we'd love to learn about your team, your priorities, and the impact you're hoping to create.

Happy to connect you with Chiefs of Staff and CVP leaders we've worked with at Microsoft for references.
