Let’s be honest: “Chief of Staff” sounds like something out of Succession. Or a White House drama. Or worse, an EA with a fancy title.
So here’s the no-fluff version.
I’m Victoria Lloyd, founder of Perfect Thunder. And I work with founders and execs who are ambitious, visionary, high-functioning—and one Slack thread away from collapse. My job? Stop the chaos from killing your momentum.
If you’ve ever thought, “I just need someone to make it all happen,” this is for you.
⚡️ What I Actually Do
I turn vision into velocity.
That means:
Translating big strategic thinking into actual delivery plans
Building out clear priorities and ruthless focus across teams
Catching the dropped balls before they hit the founder’s desk
Spotting misalignment before it turns into cross-functional warfare
Creating project structure that keeps your most ambitious ideas alive—and finished
I protect the founder’s headspace.
You shouldn’t be:
Creating the investor update and booking the meeting
Following up on the AI rollout and rewriting your pitch deck
Fielding 27 Slack pings asking who’s responsible for the thing
I create an exec rhythm that lets you zoom out, breathe, and actually lead.
I give your team real ownership.
No more “we should do that” stuck in a slide deck. I:
Turn team ideas into tracked, paced delivery
Build templates, rituals, async comms, and delegation structures
Run leadership meetings with decisions, not just discussion
Scaling is a phase change. Your business hits a point where:
The strategy is great, but no one’s executing
You’re hiring fast, but alignment is fading
Delivery is slowing down, and you can’t tell why
This is where execution dies. In the gaps. In the “someone was supposed to do it.” In the “we talked about it, but nothing happened.”
This is where I come in.
I don’t just help you survive this phase—I help you create calm momentum. Without full-time overhead. Without unnecessary hires. Without losing your edge.
👋 What It Feels Like to Have Me in the Room
You stop being the bottleneck.People know what they’re doing.The team stops asking for permission and starts delivering.You go from “vision chaos” to “clean execution” in weeks.
One founder called me "an ops engine, exec coach, and secret weapon in one."Another said, "It's like having a second brain, but calmer and better dressed."
I’ll take it.
🧠 Who I Work With
Founders who are spinning too many plates and want to stop dropping the best ones
Execs scaling fast with messy middle challenges (not enough time, too many priorities)
Mission-driven teams who’ve got energy but need sharper delivery to keep up with ambition
I’ve worked across regulated industries, creative orgs, fintech, mental health, and early-stage startups.
The common denominator? Visionaries ready for structured, impactful momentum.
💡 Why It Matters
Because leadership misalignment is death by a thousand polite Slack messages.Because ideas are nothing without follow-through.Because no founder should be scheduling board meetings and solving internal comms breakdowns.Because you didn’t build this business to micromanage execution and forget what your actual vision is.
You’re the spark. I’m the structure. Let’s go.
I’m Victoria Lloyd. Fractional Chief of Staff. Founder of Perfect Thunder. Operator. Culture whisperer. Storm-stabiliser. Sanity-saver.
