Background

About Emily MacKinnon

As Chief of Staff I’m the strategic operator behind the curtain. I connect dots, close loops, and build the infrastructure that makes real scale possible. I thrive where chaos meets clarity. Whether it's navigating complex operational challenges, aligning stakeholders across ventures, or building systems that support momentum, I’m the person making sure nothing falls through the cracks. And if it does, I’ve already put a better system in place. At Vivid Theory LTD, I help lead execution across HeyAuto and BigGeo, two fast-moving companies redefining automotive tech and geospatial cloud intelligence. My work spans everything from investor readiness and compliance to culture, legal infrastructure, and delivery. I don’t just keep the trains running. I redesign the tracks to be faster, smarter, and stronger. I believe the best operators are part architect, part therapist. We build processes that work, and we create space for teams to thrive without unnecessary friction. I’m proud to be a jack of all trades. That versatility is intentional. It allows me to solve problems across departments, support founders with clarity, and help organizations grow without losing their rhythm. Let’s build better systems, stronger teams, and work that actually works.
