Chief of Staff, Value Creation- Fortify Companies

CHIEF OF STAFF, Value Creation 

Fortify Companies 

Location: Kennesaw, GA or Portsmouth, NH. 

Reports to: CEO 

About Us 

Fortify’s roots are in restoration, and that foundation gives us credibility with carriers and policyholders alike. 

But we believe restoration alone isn’t enough. The industry performs better when loss is prevented where possible and response is coordinated when it’s not. Fortify is building a platform that aligns insurance carriers, property owners, and service providers across prevention, response, restoration, and rebuild. 

Through Fortify’s growing portfolio of operating companies—including Rytech, Insurcomm, and additional businesses we will bring into the ecosystem—this alignment is delivered at scale. 

The Role 

The Chief of Staff, Value Creation is the CEO’s right hand in driving value creation across the Fortify portfolio. 

This role leads the design, execution, and governance of value creation initiatives across acquired and organic growth platforms. It ensures that the most important strategic and operational levers are identified, resourced, sequenced, and delivered. 

This is not a reporting function. While the role owns cadence, scorecards, and board materials, its primary responsibility is outcomes — ensuring that Fortify realizes the full revenue, margin, and strategic potential of each investment.

• This individual keeps the organization focused on what matters most and ensures that strategic intent becomes operational reality. 
  

Governance, Reporting & Executive Support 

• Create concise, insight-driven updates for CEO, Board, and shareholders 

• Drive board-level reporting on synergy capture, performance vs. underwriting, and integration progress 

• Support forward-looking communications to internal teams, investors, and external stakeholders 

• Ensure portfolio companies are aligned on strategic priorities and messaging 
  

Strategic Project Execution 

• Personally lead select high-impact initiatives across the portfolio 

• Support implementation of technology systems and operating infrastructure 

• Drive cross-functional initiatives that require executive coordination 

• Roll up sleeves when needed to unblock initiatives and accelerate progress 
  

What Success Looks Like 

• Successfully executing M&A transactions that meet financial and strategic objectives 

• Delivering seamless integrations with measurable value capture and synergy realization 

• Completing strategic initiatives on-time and on-budget with clear business impact 

• Building repeatable processes and governance structures that scale with company growth 

• Earning trust as the CEO's strategic partner with strong executive team satisfaction 

• Producing high-quality Board materials and stakeholder communications
