I Make Founders Smarter and Faster

The Evolution of the Executive Assistant in the AI Era

As AI increasingly automates traditional executive assistant functions new opportunities emerge.
While AI scales founder talent, there's a gap between founders and their AI systems.
I'm filling that gap.Phase 1: Building the Foundation
The role begins with mastering core executive support:
-Managing low-ROI admin tasks
-Proactive problem solving
-Building a personalized operational systems.
-Understanding your unique work style and preferences
-Establishing trust through consistent executionPhase 2: AI Integration & Amplification
With that foundation established, the role evolves into strategic AI enablement:
-Capturing, curating, and structuring your critical information
-Developing a personalized knowledge base optimized for AI interaction
-Serving as the executive-assistant-in-the-loop between you and AI systems
-And maybe a unique marketing angle for your personal brandMy Value Proposition
I've spent over a year mapping this evolution and can't find anyone else talking about this. I'm seeking an ambitious AI founder who recognizes the value of this hybrid approach.

Quick About Me

After a lot of poor decision-making, I dropped out of college, and found myself flipping burgers.So I joined the Army to fix my discipline/mindset.It worked.

Behavioral Health Specialist (Active Duty - Army)
May 2018 – May 2022

Counseling 1000+ patients was an extremely valuable experience, but I preferred operations.
I was promoted to Executive Assistant to the Installation Director of Psychology. He oversaw services for 30,000 patients.
I was also promoted to Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge of our 30-team outpatient clinic
I managed daily operations and overhauled our systems and workflows to accommodate our new virtual services during a chaotic COVID-19 transition.

I became obsessed with startups.After the Army, I became 1 of 5 Executive Personal Assistants (EPA) supporting an extremely ambitious CEO at Mawer Capital.

I loved the chaos and intensity, I said “yes” to everything, and after 3 months was promoted to Sr. EPA, supervising my CEO’s (now 5) other assistants.
I built a dynamic, innovative CEO support team.
I became involved in nearly every aspect of the business and managed many departments (recruiting, finance, events, social media, and more).
