What is the difference between a virtual assistant and an executive assistant?
An executive assistant supports a senior leader with higher-stakes work — calendar strategy, stakeholder communication and confidential matters — and is usually more experienced than a general virtual assistant.
02
Can an executive assistant handle confidential information?
Yes. EAs sign strict NDAs, and you control access through delegated permissions and password managers.
03
Can one EA support more than one executive?
Yes, depending on workload. Discuss your team structure in the brief and we'll advise.
