Core Story: An EA Who Runs With It
Core Story needed an Executive Assistant who could work autonomously — taking a brief once and owning the outcome without hand-holding. Team Up Now placed Jean, a Filipino EA who quickly became a trusted member of the business, contributing ideas and running full projects independently.
The Challenge
- Founder had worked with several VAs over two years without finding a reliable fit
- Previous support required constant direction and couldn't take initiative
- Needed an EA who could own tasks end-to-end, not just follow instructions
What We Delivered
- Executive assistance: full task ownership and on-time delivery
- Independent project execution — briefed once, then self-directed to completion
- Proactive process improvement: Jean contributes ideas without being asked
- Podcast content support including research and editing coordination
Results
First full project completed independently within two weeks of starting
Zero hand-holding required — Jean self-directs from brief to delivery
Founder trusts Jean entirely with business-critical tasks
EA relationship now expanding into new areas including podcast editing
“Jean is an absolute diamond. Within two weeks I gave her a brief for a week and she did an entire project and she's running with it on her own. I trust Jean entirely. I've worked with several VAs over the past two years and none of them come close to how fantastic Jean has been.”
