Beyond Admin: 7 Surprising Things Elite VAs Are Doing C-Suites
Virtual Assistants Aren’t Just Scheduling Meetings Anymore
If you’re still thinking a virtual assistant just books your meetings or replies to emails, it’s time for a major upgrade. At Deah Solutions, we specialize in placing virtual executive assistants who go way beyond admin—they’re remote Chiefs of Staff, operational enablers, and strategic partners.
This post will show you how top companies are leveraging elite remote executive assistants to do work that’s high-leverage, measurable, and impossible to ignore.
1. Project Management Like a Pro
Today’s VAs are managing internal rollouts, vendor implementation projects, and company-wide initiatives using tools like Asana, Notion, and Trello.
✅ Track deadlines, dependencies, and blockers
✅ Follow up with stakeholders
✅ Keep everything (and everyone) on pace without micromanagement
One Deah-placed project management virtual assistant ran an entire product beta test from invite to feedback consolidation.
2. Investor and Board Coordination
Preparing for a board meeting? A top-tier virtual executive assistant will:
✅ Format decks
✅ Manage last-minute edits
✅ Schedule investor check-ins
✅ Track follow-up action items across multiple teams
This level of executive support isn’t administrative—it’s strategic.
