Tammy C Barnett, Founder of ConnectHer Weekend Retreat

Monique Floyd, Past Client
"I don't think you realize how helpful this was. The way you broke everything down finally removed my fear of hiring. No one ever taught us this, and I've always hired out of panic and got it wrong. You gave us everything — I've never felt this prepared to hire."
Agency Founder, Toolkit Student
"Simone is truly a boss at what she does. Just from her content, I finally hired my first intern — sweaty armpits and all — and it worked. She makes delegation feel possible. Everything she gives is a gem. You're in good hands."
Webinar Participant, Creative Agency
"I've been hiring from the heart with no real process, and it kept backfiring. When I saw your training, it was literally right on time. Everything you shared confirmed what my mentor said — and finally made it click. I'm so excited."
Agency Leader, Toolkit Student
"When I say I love this… I love you. Everything is already gathered and so clear."
Agency CEO, Toolkit Student

Built for Visionaries.
The Strategy Team
The Chief Alignment Agency is more than a consulting firm—we are your partners in structure. Led by Simone Little and a growing team of strategic operators, we replace chaos with the clarity needed to scale.
The Origin — Success shouldn't cost your sanity.
The Chief Alignment Agency was founded on a simple, non-negotiable belief: You can build a multi-million dollar company and still be home for dinner.
After seeing too many brilliant visionaries burning out at the peak of their success, we realized that revenue wasn't the problem—infrastructure was. The "hustle culture" narrative was forcing founders to choose between profit and peace.
We built The Chief Alignment Agency to prove you can have both. We exist to build the invisible infrastructure that allows leaders to build legacies that support their families, not take them away from them.
Meet The Team
We are a powerhouse collective of strategic operators and creative thinkers, united by a singular mission: to build the invisible infrastructure that allows your vision to scale.
Simone Little
Founder & Fractional COO
She has worn all the hats. From CEO to Admin to Sales & Marketing, Simone has been in every role. After a decade of being a trusted company insider, she knows the secrets of building a solid & successful 6 & 7 figure business.
Her mission is to eliminate the plight of the burned-out hustle-minded CEO. She believes that when your structure, team, and leadership align, growth becomes inevitable—and it doesn't have to cost you your peace.
Katherine Grimm
Operations Assistant
With 3 years of versatile experience in social media management and virtual assistance, Katherine is the engine behind the scenes. From video editing to complex workspace builds, she handles the critical execution details that allow creative visions to actually land.
Creative, quick-witted, and deeply organized, she ensures the Agency's daily operations run smoothly.
Our Core Principles
Personalization
There is no one size fits all for any person, reason, time or season. We believe in being flexible enough to discover solutions that fit the specific problem for people with varying personalities.
Transparency
We don't believe in beating around the bush. It's a disservice to our clients to see something within their business and not say something with the proper urgency.
Compassion
We understand people need to feel understood in order to take action, including our CEO clients. Therefore, we approach all situations with care in order to accomplish the end result.
