The Challenge
An international private equity firm in New York City needed a highly experienced Executive Assistant to support one of the firm’s founders—a role requiring exceptional judgment, adaptability, and communication skills. The executive’s schedule was fluid and ever-changing, demanding an Executive Assistant who could pivot seamlessly, manage shifting priorities, and remain calm under pressure in a fast-paced private equity environment.
The founder also required someone who was an excellent writer, capable of drafting and refining all email correspondence in a polished, executive-ready tone. The firm needed not just an EA, but a strategic partner with deep private equity experience, strong emotional intelligence, and the right temperament to operate at the founder level.
