Executive Support for Startups

Conquer the Mountain of Administrative Tasks with Executive Support

As a startup founder, you’re overwhelmed. Every day feels like a frantic scramble — back-to-back meetings, endless emails, and administrative tasks that never seem to end.

Chaos is a constant companion and you’re stuck checking boxes instead of driving business forward.

The constant distractions drain energy and block focus. 

You know you need help — but hiring an assistant feels daunting given your limited time, or perhaps you’ve already hired someone, but the partnership isn’t quite hitting the mark.

That’s where I come in.

Executive support for startups scaling administrative mountains.

I have a deep understanding of the challenges you’re navigating and have successfully assisted numerous startup executives in overcoming these obstacles.

Together, we’ll reclaim your focus and get you back to what truly matters.

Here’s how. 

  1. By auditing your current workflow to identify opportunities for streamlining and optimization.
  2. If hiring a support partner is the right course of action, I’ll guide you through the sourcing process.
  3. I’ll identify the level of experience you need, key attributes to look for, and best practices for sourcing top candidates.
  4. Once you’ve identified the right partner, I’ll devise an effective onboarding strategy and provide training support where needed.
