Executive Assistance

You started a company. Why are you booking the flights?

Operationary's executive assistants take the admin off founders and leaders: the inbox, the calendar, travel, meeting prep and follow-ups. Your hours go to the work only you can do.

Waiting on youThis week

  1. "Can you move Thursday's call? I'm double-booked."

    Calendar
  2. "The flights for the conference still aren't booked."

    Travel
  3. "Who still owes me a reply from last week?"

    Inbox
  4. "Board meeting tomorrow. Where is the deck?"

    Prep

Four small things. All of them yours.

If you're the founder
You answer the inbox at night so the day can go to the work only you can do.
If you run operations
You're the unofficial executive assistant, on top of your actual job.
Usually
Founders and leaders of 10–50 person companies who aren't ready for a full-time assistant.

Recognition

You may be here because…

Four things that quietly eat your week. None of them are hard. All of them are yours.

  1. Your inbox is open all day and you're still behind.

    UnderneathEverything lands on one person, and nobody is sorting it first.

    We handleInbox and calendar
  2. A single trip took you three evenings of browser tabs.

    UnderneathLogistics are nobody's job, so they became yours.

    We handleTravel and logistics
  3. Meetings end with "who's sending the notes?" and nobody does.

    UnderneathFollow-up has no owner.

    We handleMeeting prep and follow-up
  4. A pile of small tasks keeps getting pushed to the weekend.

    UnderneathNone of them is hard. All of them need doing.

    We handleThe small stuff

If your best hours go to admin, you don't need a better system. You need someone to take it.

BecomesInbox triaged. You only see what needs you.
BecomesTravel booked, with the itinerary already in your calendar.
BecomesNotes sent, actions assigned, follow-ups chased.
BecomesHandled quietly, in the background.

We also keep your calendar protected: focus time stays focus time, and conflicts get caught before you do.

How it works

We learn. We set up. We run it.

A short conversation about your week: what you want off your plate, how you like your calendar run, and what's off limits.

With your permission, we connect to the tools you already use, agree your preferences, and start with the tasks that cost you the most time.

From then on, your inbox, calendar and logistics are handled. You hear from us when something needs a decision, and not otherwise.

Your part is a short check-in and a quick yes on the few things only you can decide.

If we're unsure about something, we ask before we act, so you stay in control of the things that matter.

A Sunday evening, for a founder with a full Monday.

Three meetings back to back, one with no agenda, and Thursday's flights still aren't booked.

Monday's agendas are in your calendar, the back-to-back is spread out, and Thursday's flights are booked. Everything else can wait.

Nothing for you to do.

Executive Assistance $20/hr

Pricing depends on the hours involved. We'll put together a proposal after our discovery conversation.

Start with the situation

You don't need to hand over your whole week. Start with the inbox.

Tell us what's eating your week and what you'd love never to do again, and we'll tell you what we'd take first. You don't need to understand how any of it runs. You just need to know it's handled.
