Meet Anna

Hi, I’m Anna, founder of Exec & Co. I’ve spent over 8 years building a career working alongside founders, managing everything from travel and events to hiring, partnerships, client relations and everything in between. I’m the person working alongside founders to make things happen, so they can focus on building.

What started as an unexpected opportunity opened doors I never imagined, taking me around the world and giving me the chance to work alongside founders across different countries and industries. Along the way, I discovered a career I never even knew existed and a world of opportunities I want more women to know about.

I created Exec & Co to share what I’ve learned, open doors and show you what’s possible. Whether you want to become a high-level Executive Assistant, run unforgettable events or work alongside ambitious founders, I want to help you build a career that takes you further than you ever imagined.

If you know you’re capable of more, you’re in the right place.

For founders

I place and manage right-hand people for high-level founders.

Your Executive Assistant is the person you trust to help run your business and your life. Getting that person right matters.

02

Training and support for the Executive Assistant you already have.

03

Event consulting and on-the-ground support

From venue sourcing and consultation to planning, run sheets, suppliers and on-the-day management, check-in and VIP hosting.

How placement works

  1. 1

    We talk about your business, your days and what you need.

Questions

Good to know

Is it for me if I’m new to this work?

Yes. Exec & Co is for women already in these roles and for women who want to get into them.

You’re a founder but not sure exactly what you need?

That’s completely normal. Most founders don’t realise how much a great Executive Assistant can take off their plate until they have one. Enquire here and I’ll show you exactly how I can help.
