I worked for five years as a personal assistant to a C-suite executive at a Manila conglomerate. I managed his calendar, travel, correspondence, board meeting preparation, and a dozen other things that never appeared in any job description. It was demanding, occasionally chaotic, and an extraordinary education in how high-performing leaders think and operate. When he retired and the role was restructured, I saw the moment as an opportunity rather than a setback.
I built my OnlineBestJobs.ph profile around that executive-level experience and invested in a Pro subscription from day one, understanding that the clients I wanted — founders and senior executives — browse very specifically. They look for professionalism, discretion, and the ability to operate without hand-holding. My first client was a US-based venture-backed startup CEO who needed someone to run his operational life: inbox zero, investor update preparation, board deck coordination, travel logistics, and stakeholder communication. We were in sync from week one.
I now work exclusively with two executive clients — one in the US and one in the UK — and my engagement with both is deeply integrated into how they operate their businesses. I handle things their teams cannot: sensitive correspondence, competitive research briefs, investor relations follow-ups, and personal logistics. This is high-trust, high-impact work, and it commands a rate that reflects that. The Pro profile on OnlineBestJobs.ph attracted exactly the calibre of client I had prepared five years to serve.
