Athena Executive Services
What Makes Us Different?
We pair Executive Assistants with entrepreneurs, executives, and leadership teams.
Athena virtual assistants make it possible for our clients to not only get more done, but to be more fulfilled and satisfied with the work they do themselves. We take off your plate, those items not worthy of your time, skill, purpose, and prowess. All our assistants are U.S. based and well versed in a wide variety of platforms & interfaces.
Our Executive Clients are happy spending more time on what they are needed for most in their company. Each of our clients have discovered a new-found peace of mind and life balance. Simultaneously, Athena clients save money by only paying for the hours their assistant works instead of hiring an employee or doing it themselves.
Why Hire An Athena Executive Assistant?
US BASED
All Athena assistants live & work in the U.S. with vetted professional experience in the United States.
FIND FOCUS
Athena clients spend time where they are needed most and waste less time on tasks someone else can do.
THOROUGHLY VETTED
Athena assistants go through a rigorous vetting process, with mock exercises and four rounds of interviews.
ACHIEVE BALANCE
Athena clients discover new-found peace of mind and life balance. They can reclaim their time, and spend it as they wish.

Happy Clients
Matt Smith
President, 3MKJ Consulting
"Two years ago, 3MKJ hired two Athena Executive Assistants. Within weeks of starting, both team members proved to be integral members of our team. I must give some credit to Jennifer as the candidates she presented to us were both perfect fits for the roles we had laid out. I could tell she listened well to our needs and made the placement process seamless.
Since starting, both Lisa and Franke not only performed the tasks assigned with excellence, but took initiative to make critical changes to our business. They both were able to independently manage key projects for the organization including managing finances and expense reporting process, developing and administering a new, innovative recruitment and onboarding system and directly supporting our clients in a leadership capacity.
While it may be more cost effective to hire virtual assistants offshore, the quality, fast onboarding and initiative we have seen from our Athena team more than makes up for the cost difference."
Adina Mangubat
CEO, Spiral Genetics
"Athena Executive Services is different. My assistant is like a magical organization and operations angel. She makes my life work.
I think a large part of what sets Athena apart is Athena trains the executive and the assistant to delegate via fulfilling on intentions. There is a big difference between having to tell someone all of the details of what I need to be completed versus explaining the overall intention of what I am looking to accomplish and working with my assistant to fulfill my intention. Gina’s coaching ensures the intentions are fulfilled.
Additionally, I never have to worry about my assistant getting demotivated because I’ve given them one of the most not fun tasks ever, like organizing all of our legal documents for the past 10 years. Gina ensures that each assistant is connected to what difference those tasks makes for the executive, so the tasks are done with care."

"I just want to say, “Wow!,” Teresa is amazing! She’s had a really significant impact on our business: implementing a new appointment-scheduling system, helping design a new quarterly service routine, and jumping in right-and-left to help with day-to-day tasks. And she does it all with such grace! She’s quickly become an inseparable part of our team.
Good for you for seeing Teresa’s potential and adding her to your team. I’m so grateful!"
Juliana Stancampiano
CEO, Oxygen
"I have been working with Athena for over a year now. The process from the beginning has been easy and customized to fit the needs of myself and my company. The person that has come to work with us has been a pleasure to work with and highly capable. The fit couldn’t have been better. I recommend working with Athena to help you with all of your business operational needs to ensure you can scale and run fast to meet client demands."
Gabe Nelson, CFP®
Financial Advisor, Gabe Nelson Financial, Inc.
"Ten years of pent up delegation. I had been running my solo practice by myself for 10 years when I added my first VA to handle my back office. A year later I discovered Athena and brought on Christina to handle the front office.
Christina has been an absolute Rockstar in handling all things administrative, freeing me up to focus doing what I do best. I highly recommend Athena Executive Services to anyone who is looking for a true partner to help them get the have-to’s off their plate and focus on the want-to’s."
Max Baker
CEO, Illumagear
"My Virtual EA has helped me be measurably more efficient. Sam (Virtual EA) has reduced the amount of time and mental space (key) that I was using with emails and loose ends (meetings, follow up calls, travel arrangements, document signing, etc).
With his help I have been able to concentrate more on the vision, culture, team, and resource allocation of our business in a way that has eluded me previously."

Tenille R. Patterson, CPA
VP, Mission Support Services, Pretrial Justice Institute
"Here at Pretrial Justice Institute we were interested in exploring how EAs could support our leadership team. We had a team of three EAs working with our five leadership team members. Debra quickly became an essential member of my team supporting us with all requests- from managing my calendar to the project management of several small projects. Debra was well organized, dependable, committed to accuracy and efficiency, and a team player. And even more importantly, Debra held me accountable to the personal and professional goals I wanted to achieve by having an executive assistant. I enjoyed having her as a part of my team and was very pleased with her work ethic and commitment."
Lacey Jayne
Marketing Consultant and Web Designer, Highly Anticipated
"I’ve never done time at a corporate gig, my work experience is 100% business owner, so what I know about running a business is learned from hard-knocks, books, and great coaches. When my business starts expanding, my go-to reaction is to hunker down, handle the extra work and get it done… which is stupid, and enjoyable for no one, including my family. During this year’s busy season, I worked with Gina to bring on a VA. Guys, hiring a VA is seriously boss-level but on training wheels. Alison was able to get onboard quickly and identify the tasks that I hated doing and did them for me. I am certain that hiring an employee would have been a disaster, this is the best way to scale my time, and I recommend Athena to everyone now. They are awesome."
Tiffany French
Director of People and Communications, Atlas Inspection Technologies
"Athena Executive Services is exactly what our company needed. Professional, detailed, collaborative and truly critical partnership are just a few ways I’d describe this company. From the very first day that I worked with Athena, my time was freed up, my schedule was more manageable and I felt like I had the perfect partner in my corner. The quality of support that I receive has made me 5x more effective as an executive because of my partnership with Athena. In my line of work, I manage four departments and speak to people in multiple time zones regularly. I have to have quick, reliable, high performing people on my team. I can’t imagine ever working with anyone else. I would and do recommend Athena to all of my colleagues. The value they provide us is incredible."
