As a company executive, a significant part of your day can go into administrative and personal tasks. Scheduling meetings, answering routine calls and inquiries, planning business trips, and other activities, especially when done multiple times a week, can take away from time spent focusing on the business’s growth and strategic direction.
A virtual executive assistant (or executive VA) supports you and handles administrative and personal tasks, freeing up your calendar. This includes scheduling meetings, screening calls, booking tickets, making hotel reservations, and even attending to personal tasks like paying pending bills, shopping for loved ones, and remembering birthdays. An executive VA performs similar tasks to a general administrative assistant, the difference being that they work exclusively for you!
