Virtual Executive Assistant Support for Irish Leaders Who Don’t Want to Be the Bottleneck

Running a company in Ireland often means wearing five hats – founder, manager, strategist, admin, and firefighter.

Whether you’re building a tech company in Dublin, a boutique agency in Cork, or leading a professional services firm in Galway – your time is your most valuable asset, and it’s under constant pressure.

DonnaPro supports Irish founders who are done with burnout and bottlenecks.

Our virtual executive assistants are trained to take full ownership of high-leverage admin, communication, research, and coordination – freeing up your mind and calendar.

We’re not here to “assist.” We’re here to create space for strategic execution, better decision-making, and a faster-moving business.

What Makes a DonnaPro EA Your Highest-ROI Team Member?

60+ Hours Saved Per Month

DonnaPro is built around one outcome: helping CEOs and founders reclaim 60+ hours per month. Inbox, calendar, travel, follow-ups, research, and operational admin - delegated and handled without you becoming the bottleneck.

Real Human EAs Trained on AI Tools

DonnaPro assistants are real people with business judgement and interpersonal intelligence. Every EA is trained on AI tools and supported by DonnaPro's internal IT team for best practices, secure setup, and workflow improvement - so you get the efficiency of AI without losing the context and ownership of a dedicated human.

Built for CEOs and Founders Only

DonnaPro is not a general admin service. Every EA, every training programme, and every support system is built around one buyer: the CEO or founder who needs executive-level judgement, confidentiality, and follow-through - not someone to supervise.

Donna is remote

DonnaPro is fully remote by design. No office space, no equipment costs, no payroll taxes, no employer overhead. Your EA works from the EU, integrates into your existing tools, and delivers results without requiring a physical presence - ever.

Donna is safe & secure

DonnaPro EAs work under formal confidentiality protocols and GDPR-compliant workflows as standard. Every assistant is rigorously vetted, supported by DonnaPro's IT team on secure setup and data handling, and NDA arrangements are available on request.

60-Day Zero-Commitment Trial

The first 60 days are commitment-free. Test the relationship, assess the fit, and continue only if the support is genuinely useful. No lock-in, no pressure, no sunk cost.

Donna masters your industry

DonnaPro has placed EAs with CEOs and founders across 110+ industries. Your assistant is matched based on industry familiarity, communication style, and the specific workflows that matter in your sector - so onboarding starts from context, not from zero.

*No Commitment for the first 2 months. Zero Risk.

Why Irish Founders & CEOs Are Moving Away from Traditional Hires and Offshore VAs

Hiring a full-time assistant in Ireland comes with a heavy price tag – often €60,000+ per year, plus taxes, admin, and long ramp-up times.

Offshoring, on the other hand, can lead to timezone delays, language gaps, and assistants who execute tasks but don’t think ahead.

DonnaPro offers a third path – EU-based executive assistants who align with your schedule, work fluently in English, and support you with structure, speed, and initiative.

You avoid the high cost of hiring locally and the friction of working with someone 10 hours ahead.

Instead, you get high-performance support – flexible, remote, and ready in 9 days.

Client Testimonials: What Our Customers Say About Their "Donnas"...

My mindset before was that I need to do it all… it was slowing me down and costing my business money. Working with my EA allowed me to focus on new business opportunities that I didn’t have time for earlier, and it directly impacted my business growth.

Pawel Nical
Founder @ RevTech Accelerator | B2B SaaS

DonnaPro doesn’t just connect you with an assistant and walk away. They constantly recruit, train, and equip their personnel. When our assistant showed up, she was ready not to learn, but to lead. We didn’t have to recruit, train, or worry about compliance – we just had to plug her into our work.

Renato Lozinšek
CEO & Co-Founder @rempire-media.com

I’ve been working with virtual assistants for the past decade, and I think that right now I’m at a point where I feel that my search for the perfect virtual assistants is over.

After a long time managing everything on my own in the startup world, I realized I needed help. My EA has been amazing in managing my calendar, travel plans, T&E, and other small yet time-consuming tasks. We had morning check-ins at the beginning that paid off well. Now, I can much better focus on growing the business. Working with a Donna through a trusted virtual assistant agency makes delegation friction-free.

My EA, Petra, has been very helpful during a particularly chaotic time in one of my businesses. With minimal guidance, she quickly adapted, proactively started searching for solutions, and delivered results. I love how I can just ping her on WhatsApp, and things get done seamlessly.

I used to manage my own travel, emails, and calendar-even while running multiple businesses. Then my EA (Romina) stepped in. She’s proactive, reliable, and keeps everything running smoothly without me having to ask. Our daily check-ins keep me on top of things, and her inbox summaries are a lifesaver when I’m traveling. I finally have the headspace to focus on what matters.

Walid Kholmi
CEO @ hometransformers.nl

I had high expectations, but the reality has been above a 10. Because my EA has a background in my industry, she understands exactly what I need immediately – it feels like she is a core part of the team, not an external hire. I’m no longer losing time managing tasks; instead, I’m using that freedom to focus on the sales team and close deals daily. Donna Pro’s recruitment is on another level; she isn’t just delivering, she is over-delivering.

I’m super happy with DonnaPro and with Angels. Even though we’ve only been working together for a few weeks, she already feels fully integrated into my business. I really appreciate how proactive she is and how she always brings practical suggestions. It’s such a relief to finally have four eyes instead of just two. We’re definitely on track to becoming a seamless team.

Three months in, and it’s a relief to have someone who fully gets my tone of voice. Saga handles my inbox with confidence, answers questions independently, and keeps things moving without me needing to chase anyone – even while I was on my first real holiday in years.

What It Really Costs to Hire In-House Assistant in Ireland?

Hiring a full-time assistant in Ierland means office space, payroll taxes, equipment costs, and full-time salaries that easily exceed €60,000 per year. And for most CEOs and founders based in Ierland, that’s money left on the table – because full-time support is rarely what the workload demands.

There’s a smarter way to do it.

DonnaPro’s part-time model gives you a senior, dedicated EA – handling your calendar, inbox, travel, and executive priorities – for a fixed monthly retainer, no hiring process, no payroll headaches, and no office required. You get exactly the support you need, scaled to your actual workload, not a fixed 40-hour week you’re paying for whether you need it or not. No long-term contracts. No hidden fees. Just results.
