Vannin Chief of Staff is a premier talent consultancy, specializing in the chief of staff role. Vannin Chief of Staff was acquired by the Chief of Staff Association at the start of 2026. The Chief of Staff Association is the largest membership association for chiefs of staff in the world, supporting members in leading corporations, governments, and the military across more than 75 countries. It is the only professional association that can confer the industry-recognised Certified Chief of Staff® credential, delivered through online learning and executive education at the University of Oxford and Harvard Business School.

As Vannin Chief of Staff transitioned away from a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) policy to company-owned hardware, the team recognized that its existing processes would not scale without the right support in place. Vannin Chief of Staff needed an IT partner that could support the full employee lifecycle at scale for a distributed workforce, from device procurement and software provisioning through onboarding, tech support, offboarding, and device retrieval.

“The reality is, we are not trained IT specialists. We were very much looking for a single solution that could help us with a range of IT needs,” said Emily Whiting, Vice President, Operations.

An all-in-one IT management solution

“We needed a solution that could handle all of our IT management in one platform. Another consideration we had to take into account was how scalable the solution would be through a global lens. We needed a plan for our immediate needs, but Electric also seemed like the best solution on the market to grow alongside us in the future.”

With Electric, Vannin Chief of Staff has streamlined and centralized their IT workflows:

• Device procurement: devices are now easily purchased, shipped, and tracked via Electric’s Hardware Store, with discounts and financing plans available.
• Device management: all company hardware is now enrolled and tracked with centralized Mobile Device Management (MDM).
• Software management: app deployment has become seamless, with an established process to handle user permission updates.
• On/offboarding: new hires have commented on the ease of onboarding, while a secure process for device retrieval and warehousing is now in place for offboarding.
• Security: enhanced security measures are accessible and easy to implement, and the team have added antivirus and email protections.

Leveling up the entire team

In a single 30-minute session with Electric, 80% of staff were enrolled in a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. Fully automated onboarding and offboarding have saved the team hours, while established protocols, centralized visibility, and scalable processes have improved operational efficiency.

Vannin Chief of Staff plans to continue to leverage Electric’s expertise and support as the business grows. “The customer support has been A+ and this rollout in general has leveled up the entire team.”
