Executive communications on your behalf
I'm one US-based person, dedicated to your account every month, doing the six things below so you're not the one doing them at 9pm.
If you're an attorney: I never touch legal work — no research, no drafting, no client advice, no case strategy. If it requires your license, it's yours. If it's everything around it, it's mine.
The small but important details.
A signed confidentiality agreement is in place before I see a single client name — yours, or your own agreement if you'd rather use it.
You don't want a promise. You want to know exactly what happens to your information. So here it is:
I work inside the systems you already use. Nothing gets exported, duplicated, or stored outside your existing tools unless you ask me to.
Client and business details are handled the way in-house staff would handle them: accessed only as needed, never shared outside your business, never discussed outside the engagement.
You set the boundaries on what I see and touch. Narrow scope to start is normal, not a red flag.
If any of that raises a follow-up question, that's what the 15-minute call is for.
Hi, I’m Diane.
I've spent eight years in administrative and executive support, with the last four as a dedicated EA to C-suite, SVP, and partner-level leaders across tech, finance, legal, marketing, partnerships, and sales — which is a long way of saying: whatever you do, I've probably already kept someone in your world on schedule and out of trouble.
At a tech company, I managed multi-time-zone calendars for a CRO, CMO, and SVP of Partnerships at once — coordinating 31 domestic and international trips, five executive offsites on a $200K budget, and the board-meeting prep that kept three leaders walking into every room decision-ready.
In another role, I spent two years at a commercial real estate law firm in Manhattan, supporting six attorneys — filings, document production, deadline-sensitive client and court communication. I know what a missed deadline actually costs, because I spent the time making sure it didn't happen.
I'm one person. Not a call center, not an offshore team. If you hire me, you get me — the same person on every call, who already knows your schedule, your clients, and how you like things done. I also cap how many clients I take on at once, so that stays true — not a promise that quietly stops being real once I get busy.

Flat monthly plans. What you see is what you pay.
Every plan includes the same full support — the only thing that changes is how much time you need each month.

No per-minute charges, no setup fee, no surprise add-ons. Not sure how many hours you need? Start First Pass or Cleared Queue — you can move up anytime.
Founding client rate: the first three clients who sign on get 20% off their first three months. In exchange, I ask for an honest testimonial once you've seen the work — good or lukewarm.
If it’s not working, you’re not stuck.
No contract. Month to month, cancel anytime, no exit fee. And if the first month isn't a fit — for any reason, no explanation needed — I'll refund 50% of what you paid, and you won't be charged again.
You're not betting a year on someone you met a week ago. You're trying it for a month.
Fifteen minutes. That’s the ask.
Tell me what's piling up. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit — and if I'm not, I'll say so and we'll both have saved time.
