Chief of Staff Remote LATAM

About ABAAdvisory Board Architects (ABA) designs, builds and manages boards, both fiduciary and non-fiduciary, for private and family-owned companies. We do not run generic governance workshops. We recruit and evaluate directors, facilitate board sessions, and measure what a board actually produces.Our work has been applied in more than 3000 board meetings across 13 countries. We use proprietary systems, including our Board4Sight scoring model and our Director Archetypes framework, to assess the strategic fit of prospective directors before they join and to measure the contribution of a board and of each individual director once it is running. That measurement is what allows a company to treat its board as an asset with a return, not as a formality.ABA LATAM works with companies across Latin America.
