What an executive assistant actually owns
- Calendar ownership, including declining and reshuffling on the executive’s behalf
- Meeting prep: agendas, briefing notes, follow-up actions
- Inbox triage with drafted replies queued for approval
- Travel, expenses, and vendor coordination
- Chasing commitments across the leadership team
What we test before you meet anyone
- Evidence of owning a calendar with real conflict: competing stakeholders, travel, board prep
- How they decide what reaches the executive and what they absorb themselves
- A confidentiality track record: comp data, legal matters, personnel issues
- A live scheduling exercise across three time zones with one immovable constraint
Where executive assistant searches usually go wrong.
The people who can genuinely run an executive’s day are almost always employed and not browsing job boards. The ones who are available have usually supported one manager in a low-volume role, which is nothing like holding together a forty-meeting week.
