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, so you get AI efficiency without losing human context and ownership.
DonnaPro is not a general admin service. Every EA, training programme, and support system is built around the CEO or founder who needs executive-level judgement, confidentiality, and follow-through.
DonnaPro is fully remote by design. No office space, equipment costs, payroll taxes, or employer overhead. Your EA works from the EU, integrates into your existing tools, and delivers without requiring a physical presence.
DonnaPro EAs work under formal confidentiality protocols and GDPR-compliant workflows. Every assistant is rigorously vetted, supported on secure setup and data handling, and NDA arrangements are available on request.
Every DonnaPro EA is based in the European Union and operates under GDPR-compliant workflows, strict NDA, and formal confidentiality agreements - a hiring requirement for sensitive commercial and stakeholder work.
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.
DonnaPro has placed EAs with CEOs and founders across 110+ industries. Your assistant is matched by industry familiarity, communication style, and the specific workflows that matter in your sector.
*No Commitment for the first 2 months. Zero Risk.
DonnaPro EAs work in English - the working language of most Swiss international businesses and founder teams. If occasional correspondence arrives in German, French, or Italian, your EA can handle light translation and context using AI-assisted tools.
For native-level calls, legal writing, or complex client communication in Swiss national languages, a local hire remains the better fit.

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.

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.

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.
I meant it when I said I needed help, and DonnaPro has really delivered. It has really impacted how I work and it has allowed me to focus on the things that really mattered.
Esteban A. MirandaCEO @ European Food Banks Federation / Non-Profit / NGOWorking with DonnaPro and Grace has made a real difference to both my work and personal life. I feel more prepared, less rushed, and things I used to think about but never get around to are finally getting done. Honestly, it’s the best support I’ve had in years.
Andrew RobertsCEO & Partner / Biotech & Pharmaceutical IndustryAfter a long time managing everything on my own in the start-up world, I realised 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.
Jochen R.CEO @ MedTech Company / Medical Device IndustryI 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 travelling. I finally have the headspace to focus on what matters.
Dominic WhiteInvestor, Entrepreneur & Adventurer / Financial Services IndustryMy 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.
Daniel WeisslerFounder @ winTEC Solutions / Automotive Software IndustryMy EA doesn’t just complete tasks; she proactively identifies and solves potential issues before they become problems. Whether it’s a scheduling conflict or a looming deadline, my EA is always one step ahead, saving me countless headaches.
Lily SovinCo-Founder @ optika-oftalmos.com / Eyewear IndustryI’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.
Marie UtschFounder & CEO @ marieutsch.com / Digital Marketing IndustryThree 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.

No. DonnaPro assistants are based in the European Union and work remotely with Swiss clients. Because EAs operate in CET, they align perfectly with Swiss business hours - same working day, no time zone gap.
DonnaPro is an English-first service. For Swiss CEOs working internationally or with hybrid teams, this is rarely an obstacle. If occasional correspondence arrives in German, French, or Italian, your EA can handle light context and drafting using AI-assisted tools. For native-level calls, legal writing, or complex client communication in Swiss national languages, a local hire remains the better fit.
A senior executive assistant in Switzerland costs CHF 117,000-135,000 gross per year, plus cantonal social contributions of approximately 16%, mandatory benefits, equipment, and recruitment. The fully-loaded year-one cost typically exceeds CHF 136,000. DonnaPro's part-time option costs €2,700/month (€€32,400/year) and full-time costs €6,500/month (€78,000/year) - both with no employment overhead, no payroll administration, and a 9-day onboarding process instead of 1-2 months.
Yes. All DonnaPro EAs are EU-based and operate under GDPR-compliant workflows. For Swiss clients, this also means alignment with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP), which shares core principles with GDPR. Sensitive commercial data, stakeholder communication, and confidential documents are handled with the same standards applied to in-house hires.
DonnaPro EAs handle 70+ types of executive and operational tasks. The most common for Swiss clients include inbox management, calendar coordination, international travel planning, meeting preparation and briefings, stakeholder follow-ups, research, document preparation, investor communication, CRM updates, SOP creation, project coordination, and personal admin. During onboarding, DonnaPro identifies which workflows create the most leverage for your specific business and builds the EA role around those priorities.
Most Swiss clients are matched and actively delegating within 9 days. Before you arrive, your EA has already completed DonnaPro's HR Time Vault training programme covering delegation frameworks, executive tools, and CEO support best practices. You are not starting from zero - your EA arrives prepared to deliver value in the first week.
The first 60 days are commitment-free. You can test the relationship, assess the fit, and continue only if the support is genuinely useful. There is no lock-in during the trial period.
That is exactly what the free strategy session is for. We will assess whether EU-based managed executive support fits your working style, language requirements, and delegation needs. If you need a local Swiss hire, native-language support, or a different model entirely, we will be direct about that during the call.
Yes. DonnaPro works with Swiss founders across all major cities and cantons. The service is fully remote, so location within Switzerland does not affect delivery. The relevant factors are working language (English) and whether your support needs fit a remote executive assistant model rather than an in-office role.
