27 Chief of staff chiefs of staff at 26 teams in NAUT's crypto database, read 14 November 2026. Logos: Sentient, DoubleZero, Internet Computer, Partisia Blockchain, hyli_org, ZkSync, SingularityNET, Blockchain.com, Unichain, Hut 8 Mining, Tempo, Caldera.

NAUT tracks 27 contacts titled crypto chief of staff at 26 teams in NAUT's crypto database, read from its database on 14 November 2026, and 26 of the 27 have a LinkedIn profile on file. To find 1, search the title on NAUT's People tab, open the team's company page to see who holds it, then check the person's own bio before you write.

Data note. Every count here comes from NAUT's own database, read-only, on 14 November 2026. The starting set was 30 contacts with a current chief of staff title at 29 live project pages (not archived, not merged, former titles left out). 3 contacts came out: 1 at Morpho, because a public profile read outside NAUT gives that person a head of operations title, and 2 where NAUT's own description names a business with no crypto product stated: Prenetics, a health sciences company, and Spekter Games, a game development company. The 26 teams shown are teams in NAUT's crypto database, not each a confirmed crypto company: Edge City and SingularityNET carry no description on NAUT, and Surus is described only as an institutional-grade asset management platform. A further 16 chief of staff rows sit at investors, platforms or a company with no live page, and are out of scope. Outside NAUT, research read public pages for 2 of the 30 seats: Morpho's, dropped above, and DoubleZero's, whose own site names no chief of staff, so that title rests on NAUT's record. The other 26 published titles were not checked outside NAUT. Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.

How do you find a crypto chief of staff in 3 steps?

Search the title, read the team, then check the bio. A chief of staff supports the founder or CEO on operations and priorities, and the scope varies by company; 1 startup guide puts it as "The Chief of Staff can take over some of these administrative burdens." That makes the seat a good first read for a partnership, a vendor deal or an intro the founder has no time to sort.

3 steps to a crypto chief of staff
  1. Search the People tabType chief of staff on NAUT's People tab: 27 contacts at 26 teams hold the title.
  2. Open the company pageAt Sentient the team list shows 2 people with the title, Vivek Kolli and Benjamin Finch.
  3. Check the bioCompare NAUT's title with the person's own LinkedIn or X bio before you write: 1 of the 30 starting seats failed this check.

Step 1: search the title on the People tab

Type chief of staff into the People tab on NAUT. The wording varies, so read the full title: 24 of the 27 carry the plain title, and 3 pair it with a second job, such as Chief of Staff, Operations at Hut 8 Mining or Chief Of Staff & Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer at Topos.

Step 2: open the company page

The company page shows every person NAUT holds for that team, so you can see whether the chief of staff is the only route in. Sentient is the 1 team in this set with 2 people titled chief of staff: Vivek Kolli, with LinkedIn, X and Telegram on file, and Benjamin Finch, titled Chief of Staff, Founding Researcher, with LinkedIn on file.

Step 3: check the bio before you write

A title on any directory can lag a job change. Open the person's page, then the LinkedIn or X profile it links, and confirm the seat. At Sentient, Benjamin Finch's title also names a research role, so his own bio tells you which of the 2 jobs your note should speak to. In this set, the 1 outside check that found a person's profile, at Morpho, showed a different title, and that row is left out above.
