Chief of Staff

About Clockwise

The most important time on our calendars is the space between meetings. Clockwise is a new way of working designed to take back those precious moments—and free up more time for ourselves every day—so we can feel present when we're working together and focused when we're working on our own.

Clockwise learns about the things that matter to us and to our coworkers and makes time for both, using AI to find the right moments for people to meet while saving focus time for each of us. That's what a sustainable future of work looks like. And that's what every day at Clockwise looks like.

We can't fix our schedules on our own. But we can build the solution together. Join us, and let's rework the workday.

We're proud to have the backing of premier investors such as Accel and Greylock Partners. Our team has decades of experience from places like Twitter, Asana, Salesforce, Dropbox, Palantir, and Google. Join us as we help the world make time for what matters.
