Executive Partner
for complex portfolios
Accelerating strategic priorities to commercial results
Hi, I am Szilvia, Founder and an AI-forward Global Fractional Chief of Staff.
Senior leaders bring me in when a complex portfolio, programme, or special project is too high-stakes to leave it to chance, from Series B to multi‑billion‑pound global B2B operations.
I turn complex problems to accelerated commercial results. I connect the dots across teams, own or get a stuck special project moving, lead change, build operational rhythm and structure to strategic priorities, or deliver a keynote or a board game for aligning people, to make sure strategy actually lands.
I do this with PMO Lead and Chief of Staff experience across 21 sectors, including transformation, AI adoption, regulatory introduction, incident response, recognition, Centres of Excellence, and go-to-market alignment.
“Szilvia will break through walls to get the work done, with super high integrity” Joshua Graff, former LinkedIn EMEA & LATAM Managing Director & VP, LMS Global ESG

If speed is the priority, alignment is non-negotiable.
Why it's relevant now: AI is compressing timelines and increasing dependency between teams. Ways of working change real-time alongside 70% of skills changing by 2030 according to LInkedIn’s Work Change report, which means execution gets out of alignment faster than it’s anyone’s remit to fix. This session helps leaders recognise and correct that, quickly with a lasting impact.
A 60-90 minute facilitated in-person session including learnings where leadership teams (5-15 people) work through a facilitated board game that mirrors real leadership dynamics: the constant pull between speed and rigour, and the tension between autonomy and alignment
Strategic Focus: The game mirrors ways of working under pressure. As decision paths shorten or jam due to time-pressure, assumptions are tested. With the patterns emerging in this game, it gets clear real-time through experiences how priorities are interpreted across the business.
For: Executive teams, boards, and leadership teams navigating AI-driven market change at pace. Especially valuable during planning season, transformation, or to bring the team closer together, more in alignment.
What Leaders leave with
A shared, lived understanding of how alignment shifts under speed
Clear language for decision ownership and escalation
Practical adjustments leaders can act on immediately to move faster together
Insight into how AI reshapes friction patterns across teams
The final part of the session is a structured debrief. We connect what happened in the game to what is happening in the business, and agree what needs to change.
Timeline: A 90 minute facilitated session with 30 mins of pre-session preparation and a post-session written summary within 48 hours.
