Company
Hi! I’m the Founder & CEO of Loyal. We’re developing drugs to extend dog lifespan; I want to build the defining aging company (“The SpaceX of aging”). In the last year, we’ve built the team from just me to 20+, from idea to clinical studies - and we are just getting started. Cool things we are doing include: running a 500-dog aging study, building a model that can accurately quantify dog aging from images, and building campaigns to educate vets and Pet Parents on dog aging. I’m looking for a Chief of Staff to be my right hand (wo)man to help me scale as a CEO. You’ll work with me on everything I do day to day, with a focus on helping me keep on top of my increasingly heavy schedule. Here and here are two good articles on what an excellent CoS/operator works like. I am looking for someone who is:
