Executive Assistant Support for Founders
I help you delegate the noise so you can lead the vision.
Mission-Driven. Founder-Focused.
Everything I do at JoannaEA flows from three hard-won values:
Autonomy — Because your time should be spent where it matters. Transparency — Because clarity beats control. Respect — Because your vision deserves more than delegation.
About Me
Built from experience. Backed by execution.
Hi, I’m Joanna—Founder of JoannaEA, your high-trust executive partner for fast-moving startup founders. I help visionary leaders cut through operational noise, move faster, and focus on what truly matters. I bring clarity to chaos, build systems that scale, and deliver outcomes with precision and calm. After years leading behind the scenes in high-pressure environments, I know what it takes to deliver with trust, speed, and discretion. Now, I bring that same quiet excellence to founders building what’s next.
🧭 My Values (Earned, Not Marketed)
Autonomy: You get your time back. I move without hand-holding. Transparency: You get clear results. No guesswork. No micromanaging. Respect: You get a partner who sees your mission and builds from the ground up.
JoannaEA isn’t just executive support—it’s strategic partnership. Founder to founder. Operator to visionary.
This is: ✅ Structure without micromanagement. ✅ Support without strings. ✅ Strategy that helps you lead, not just manage.

Disclaimer: Due to the depth of involvement required at this level, I only work with one Founder in Residence at a time. Every application is reviewed personally. A mutual NDA is required. Legal agreements are drafted and reviewed by counsel to ensure transparency, trust, and full clarity from day one. If it’s not the right fit, I’ll point you to a service that is. No pressure, no pitch.
Your business doesn't need another tool. It needs someone who knows how to use them.
