I help fast-moving founders reclaim time and mental clarity by building trust-first partnerships. With autonomy to move, transparency to adapt, and respect as the baseline. I become the right hand you didn’t know you needed.
Hi, I'm Joanna—your Executive Assistant who thinks three steps ahead.
I’m not just checking boxes—I’m helping you build.
As a founder myself, I know what it’s like to juggle everything, make high-stakes decisions with limited time, and wish someone just got it.
That understanding came from three years of being invisible in plain sight—closing 310 leases, generating over $10M in rental revenue, and holding operations together in an environment that treated me like a number.
I was reliable, resourceful, and results-driven in chaos. But eventually, I stopped asking for recognition from people who profited from my burnout.
So, I stopped waiting for a seat at their table—and built my own.
Now, I bring that same relentless operational drive to founders who need more than just a task-taker. You need someone who understands the stakes—because I’m living them too.
That’s why autonomy, transparency, and respect aren’t just buzzwords to me. They’re boundaries I earned the hard way.
JoannaEA isn’t just an EA service. It’s strategic, founder-to-founder support designed to help you lead, scale, and stay sane.
This is structure without micromanagement. This is support without strings. This is strategy from someone who knows the difference between busy work and breakthrough work.

“I want to extend a very special thank you to Joanna Cox — for going above and beyond during both my move-in and move-out. She’s not just professional, but kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about the residents. Her support made my whole experience even more amazing.” – 🏡Former resident at AvalonBay
I bring the same level of care and responsiveness into the world of executive support — just now, it’s for founders instead of residents
