After a period as Chief of Staff, many move on to leadership positions such as COO, CEO, Managing Director, or board positions. Statistics show that approximately two-thirds of former CoS members obtain C-level roles, often within the same organization or through networks built during their time as CoS members. The role serves as a stepping stone thanks to the broad insight into strategic decision-making and the ability to lead cross-functional projects. Some also choose to start their own business or take on specialist roles in areas such as innovation, sustainability, or digitalization. For young people, this means that the CoS role is one of the most effective paths to top positions in Swedish working life.
