The CEO and Founding Partner of a private investment firm in mid-town Manhattan needed an Executive Assistant position in NYC filled with someone who was all about business and had flawless attention to process and procedures. The role required working one-on-one with the CEO, performing traditional administrative duties such as extensive travel arrangements, daily calendars, CRM system management, assisting with personal projects, billing of clients and expense reporting. C-Suite Assistants completed the search successfully, finding the perfect candidate with former military experience, strong organizational and logistical skills and professional chemistry with the CEO.
The incoming Senior Managing Director of a large and prestigious global investment management firm in midtown Manhattan had an executive assistant job opening supporting the Head of Legal and Tax Policy. This was a high exposure position in the executive offices where polish, attention to detail, a proactive attitude and organizational skills were key.
The two busy co-heads of Business Development of a private growing $22B Asset Management firm in New York City required an Executive Assistant to support them in their active pursuit of bringing in new institutional investors.

The CCO, voice to the public of a Fortune 500 telecommunications company headquartered in White Plains, required a senior administrative professional to support her.

She also possessed excellent PowerPoint and calendar skills.
The Vice Chairman of a Greenwich based Hedge Fund required a mature Executive Assistant to manage both the daily administration of his business affairs, and also assist him with his personal life: managing a second home in the Hamptons, family vacations and personal investments. The successful candidate had experience in a similar hybrid EA/Personal Assistant role and had worked for some very high-profile Wall Street bosses. The two personalities of the Vice Chairman and the EA were a perfect professional match.
A top Fortune 500 technology company headquartered in Hartford, and the largest employer in CT, needed an Executive Assistant position filled to support the Director of a global supply management chain across all of the company’s business units. The position required at least seven years of prior corporate administrative experience, of which four years were supporting a senior executive.
