John Quayle is the Chief of Staff at Four Growers, an industrial automation platform that develops harvesting robots for greenhouses. On this episode of Aspiring Ops, John shares how his unexpected journey into entrepreneurship led to his role at Four Growers, and why the Chief of Staff position at an early stage startup provided the career development he was looking for at a company. John also gives a glimpse into how the position might look different at earlier stage companies, and the advantages of hiring someone who can ‘duplicate’ the presence and impact of their principal.
