Meghan Markle: Meghan Hires Bill Gates’ Ex-Staffer
Meghan Markle has certainly leveled up by hiring someone from the tech titan’s inner circle. So, who is Sarah Fosmo? Before joining Meghan’s team, Fosmo held the important title of Deputy Director of Executive Administration in Gates’ office. She served in that role until December 2024.
As for Sarah’s skills, she’s your go-to expert for managing crucial business decisions, mega money, and top-secret details. After all, she is seasoned in catering to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and handling their private matters. And guess what? Her arrival couldn’t come at a more perfect time!
The former Suits actress is doing exceptionally well in her career, which isn’t limited to serving chic and stylish looks in public anymore. She has emerged as a full-fledged businesswoman with her latest lifestyle label, As Ever. The brand sells items at the speed of light, and let’s not forget about Markle’s new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan.
Furthermore, Markle’s unfiltered podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, is sparking important conversations. If you wonder what role Fosmo will play in the royal office, The Telegraph has you covered. The English daily suggests she will supervise this wild growth spurt for Markle’s projects.
Josh Kettler Felt “Uncomfortable” In Markle’s Office
Meanwhile, Lianne Cashin will continue to be the head of operations for the Sussexes’s Archewell Foundation. She has been in that position for nearly four years. Also, the Duchess hired Sarah just a few months after her ex-chief of staff, Josh Kettler, quit in August 2024.
It was both dramatic and strange because Josh was just three months into the job. A source told Daily Mail that Kettler found some things uncomfortable. “[He] thought it was better to leave now than to continue in a job that he did not enjoy,” they revealed. Sounds a little fishy, right?
However, People reported that his split from the Sussexes was mutual and that there were no hard feelings. As of now, Prince Harry is working without a chief of staff. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for the latest buzz on Meghan Markle. What are your thoughts on the staff shake-up?
