Overview

One of the seven essentials for a CEO is to have a good EA. "You need a good ambassador who is adept at spotting things and creates an impression of accessibility and openness". Reporting directly to the CEO, the Executive Assistant (EA) provides support in a one-on-one working relationship. The EA serves as the primary point of contact for internal and external communication for matters about the CEO's Office and serves as a liaison to the board of directors and senior management teams. The EA should also work proactively and independently on projects, from conception to completion, and must be able to work under pressure at times to handle a wide variety of activities and confidential matters with discretion.
