Business owners, CEOs, and senior executives have demanding schedules. In addition to running their organizations and making high-level strategic decisions, they also have personal lives that need to be attended to. 

To top it all off, daily life is filled with repetitive, often mundane tasks that need to be taken care of. To stay focused on their priorities and avoid being pulled in multiple directions, it makes sense for such individuals to hire virtual executive assistants.

However, rapid advances in technology, the high cost of labor in many large cities, and disruptors like the coronavirus pandemic have made it practical and more cost-efficient to hire remote virtual assistants.
