Types of Executive Assistants We Place

At Artemide Recruitment, we specialise in placing high-calibre Executive Assistants across a wide range of sectors and leadership contexts throughout the United States. Each candidate is carefully matched to the executive and organisation they will support, combining experience, discretion, and the professional maturity to make an immediate and lasting impact.

Executive Assistant to CEO / Founder

Supports CEOs and founders as a trusted right hand, managing complex priorities, sensitive communications, and fast-moving decisions in high-growth environments. This role demands strong business awareness, discretion, and the ability to operate autonomously; core strengths we look for in every EA-to-CEO
placement across New York City, Miami, and Austin.

Board-level Executive Assistants

Provides high-level support to board members and senior leadership teams, coordinating meetings, governance processes, and confidential documentation. Board-level EAs are highly experienced, detail-oriented, and entirely at ease at the most senior level of an organisation.

Senior Corporate Executive Assistants

Supports C-suite executives within structured US corporate environments, acting as the key operational link between leadership and internal stakeholders. These EAs combine operational excellence with the communication skills to represent their executive with authority and professionalism.

EA for Private Equity & Investment Firms

Works closely with partners and investment teams in fast-paced, transaction-driven environments, managing complex schedules, deal related coordination, and sensitive communications. Our New York City team has deep experience placing EAs within the private equity and hedge fund community.

Family Office Executive Assistants

Supports principals within family offices across the United States, balancing business, financial, and private interests with absolute discretion. Family Office EAs are highly adaptable and experienced in managing multiple priorities across both professional and personal domains.

Global / International Executive Assistants

Provides support across multiple time zones and jurisdictions, coordinating international travel, global stakeholders, and cross border operations. Particularly valuable for Miami-based executives with Latin American or European mandates, and New York leaders managing international organisations.

The benefits of hiring a Executive Assistant

A high-performing Executive Assistant transforms how a leader operates. For many executives across the United States, it is one of the most impactful hires they will ever make.

  • Executive Focus & Productivity
    By managing operational complexity and filtering out low-value demands, a great EA returns hours to the executive’s day; time that translates directly into better decisions and stronger performance.

  • Improved Decision-Making Efficiency
    An exceptional EA synthesises information, prepares briefings, and creates the conditions for faster, more confident decisions. In high stakes US business environments, that preparation is a competitive advantage.

  • Effective Prioritisation & Time Management
    By aligning the executive’s calendar with their highest-value activities, a skilled EA ensures that focus goes where it matters most; not simply where it is most urgent.

  • Stronger Stakeholder Coordination
    An EA serves as the professional bridge between the executive and the people who need their attention, keeping relationships moving and communications clean across complex US organisational structures.

  • Reduced Operational & Reputational Risk
    A detail-oriented EA safeguards against missed commitments and miscommunications that can have outsized consequences at senior levels, protecting both the executive’s standing and the organisation’s integrity.

  • Proactive Partnership
    The best EAs in the US market anticipate, act, and solve problems before they surface. This shift from reactive support to genuine strategic partnership is what defines an exceptional placement – and the standard we hold ourselves to.

For many leaders, an exceptional EA is one of the most valuable hires they will ever make.
