Stop carrying the company in your head.
Charteris is a private chief of staff for executives. It reads everything, keeps every promise in view, and each morning hands you a short box of what truly needs you.
Opening in small cohorts to CEOs, COOs and founders. One email when your seat is ready.
- For your decision

Your company needs your judgment. Your inbox does not.
Somewhere between the first standup and the last email of the night, the work that moves the company gets pushed to tomorrow. Not because you do not know what matters. Because everything arrives looking equally urgent.

What a great private office does, every day.
Royal private secretaries read every paper so the sovereign only saw what needed a decision. Charteris brings that discipline to your company.
For your decision
Only the calls that are truly yours.
Each morning, the few decisions waiting on you, with the context to make them in a minute. Everything else is handled or watched.
Promises in flight
Nothing you said slips.
Every commitment made in email, Slack and meetings, by you and to you, tracked to the day it is due. It nudges before anything goes quiet.
Remembered
You never brief it twice.
Your priorities, your people and the decisions already made carry forward. Each day starts where the last one ended.
Your pages
Built around how you lead.
No two executives run a week the same way. Charteris proposes proven practice for yours and shapes your pages to it. Pin what helps, drop what does not, comment to make it act.
Your week, honestly
See where your time really went.
Every Friday, a plain read on how your hours mapped to the company's priorities, and one thing to change next week.
Drafted, never sent
It prepares. You decide.
Replies, nudges and calendar fixes arrive ready for your review. Charteris never sends email for you and never commits the company to anything.
How it starts
Connect what you choose.
Email, calendar, Slack and meeting notes. You pick the folders and channels; nothing else is read.
Spend thirty minutes with it.
Charteris studies your company and your last few weeks, then proposes your priorities, the people who matter and the rhythm of your week. You keep, change or cut each one.
Open your first box tomorrow.
It gets sharper every week, learning from what you approve, edit and ignore, and it shows you what it learned.
Discreet by design.
- Private to you.
- Your box is yours alone. It is built so that colleagues, and anyone else's Charteris, never see it.
- Only what you allow.
- It reads the sources you connect and nothing more, and you can take any of them back.
- Nothing goes out without you.
- No email is sent and no commitment is made on your behalf. You approve every outward step.
- A record of everything.
- Every action is logged, and most can be undone.
Why we built this
Two weeks of my own calendar told me something I did not want to hear. Forty-two meetings a week, a hundred and thirty-nine action items from fifteen of them, and the few decisions that mattered most arriving looking exactly like everything else.
I did not need another inbox or another chat window to type into. I needed what a great chief of staff gives you: someone who holds the threads, remembers what was decided, and walks in each morning with the three things that need me.
That is Charteris. We are building it carefully, because the people it works for have the most to lose.
David Huang, founder
Lead the company. Let Charteris carry the rest.
The first cohorts are operating CEOs, COOs and founders of companies with 50 to 500 people. Tell us a little about your week and we will save you a seat.
