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.
DonnaPro provides virtual assistant services in USA for CEOs and founders who need more than basic admin help. Hire an EU-based executive assistant to manage inbox, calendar, travel, follow-ups, meeting prep, research, and operations - so you can reclaim 60+ hours per month and start each business day with less admin waiting for you.
Book Your Free Strategy SessionThe most productive thing an EU-based EA can do for a US founder is not work alongside them. It is work ahead of them.
While you are offline, your EA is handling the operational layer - inbox triaged, meeting briefs written, follow-ups sent, travel confirmed, research completed. By the time you open your laptop in New York or log on in San Francisco, the administrative noise from the previous day has already been cleared.
This is not a workaround for the time zone difference. It is the model.
DonnaPro is built for US CEOs and founders who have stopped believing that good support requires constant real-time availability. For leaders who know the difference between an assistant who needs direction and one who owns execution. For leaders who want to start every day ahead - not catch up.
If you need live receptionist coverage or someone available on Slack all day, a local hire is the better fit. If you want structured executive workflows handled independently while you sleep, DonnaPro is built exactly for that.
Virtual assistant services in USA connect American CEOs and founders with remote, EU-based executive assistants who provide high-level operational support. According to DonnaPro data, US executives save $32,000-$62,000 annually compared to hiring locally, while gaining strategic timezone advantages - their EA handles coordination, inbox management, and meeting prep during overnight hours. These services manage executive coordination, business operations, and personal administration without traditional US employment overhead. DonnaPro serves clients across 110+ industries with executive assistants trained specifically for CEO and founder support, not task-based work.
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.
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.
The Local Hire Reality:
Hiring a full-time assistant in the US means $70-100K+ salaries, benefits, payroll taxes, office space, equipment, and months of onboarding. Plus, they work when you work - which means you're both dealing with the same fires simultaneously instead of conquering them in shifts.
The Offshore Gamble:
Going to low-cost offshore markets often means language barriers, quality inconsistency, and assistants who need constant supervision. The time savings evaporate when you're spending hours explaining context.
The DonnaPro Solution:
EU-based executive assistants who combine professional excellence with strategic timezone positioning. You get:
Think about it: While your competitors are hiring $90K assistants who work 9-5 alongside them, you have a professional handling coordination, follow-ups, and preparation during your off-hours. When they're starting their day sorting through chaos, you're already executing strategy.
According to DonnaPro client data, 91% of clients stay after the trial period because the partnership actually works - no drama, no micromanagement, just consistent execution.
And if you're like most US executives, you're traveling internationally frequently. Whether you're in London closing a deal, in Dubai meeting investors, or in Singapore exploring partnerships - your EA maintains operational continuity regardless of where you are on the planet.

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.
Rubina RautFounder & CEO @ wuka.co.uk / Personal Care, E-commerceLet's talk numbers. A top-tier executive assistant in major US markets - someone who can actually run your calendar rather than colour-code it - costs $70,000-$100,000+ annually, and that's before benefits, payroll taxes, equipment, and office space overhead.
With DonnaPro, you get executive-level support at a fraction of the cost - fully remote, strategically timezone-positioned, and ready to scale with you.
No long-term contracts. No hidden costs. No meetings for the sake of meetings. Just high-performance support that works.

Virtual executive assistant vs traditional VA service - what you actually get with DonnaPro
According to DonnaPro's 7+ years of agency experience, this difference in capability level is why our clients reclaim 60+ hours monthly while typical VA services create more coordination overhead than they eliminate.
If you landed on this page by mistake and you're actually a CEO or Founder from another country, no worries - you can find your FIT on the map below.
And if your country isn't listed for some reason, that's okay too. We genuinely don't care where you're from - our doors are open to anyone with good intentions and a positive mindset.
As long as you're not grumpy or stuck in "victim mode," we'd be delighted to work with you and help make your life easier.
Here's the reality: Most "urgent" tasks aren't actually time-sensitive - they just feel that way because of poor systems. What US CEOs actually need is execution overnight so they wake up ahead, not constant real-time availability during their own working hours.
Your EA works during your evening/night hours (their morning/afternoon in EU). When you start your day, your inbox is organized, your meeting materials are prepped, and your coordination tasks are handled. Instead of spending your peak productivity hours on admin, you immediately tackle strategic work.
For truly time-sensitive matters during your US working hours, you handle them directly (as you do now). The 95% of tasks that don't require instant turnaround get systematically executed while you sleep.
According to DonnaPro client experience, most US executives realize within weeks that the timezone difference is actually a competitive advantage - your operations continue running during hours your competitors' teams are offline.
No. That's the point.
According to DonnaPro data, US clients typically operate with 1-2 strategic check-ins per week - enough to align priorities, discuss complex situations, and maintain rapport. Everything else happens asynchronously through clear communication systems.
Your EA doesn't need daily face time to execute effectively. They need clear priorities, good documentation, and ownership of their domain. DonnaPro EAs are trained for independent execution, not constant hand-holding.
Less meetings. More results. That's the model.
Absolutely - and it actually works better than a US-based assistant.
US executives typically spend significant time in Europe, Asia, Middle East, or Latin America for deals, partnerships, and market expansion. When you're in London, Dubai, Singapore, or São Paulo, your EU-based EA's timezone suddenly aligns even more closely with your working hours.
Plus, your operations maintain consistency regardless of where you are. Your EA doesn't need to adjust their schedule when you hop time zones - they continue executing systematically while you focus on whatever market you're in.
Many US clients specifically choose DonnaPro because they travel internationally so frequently that a US-only assistant would create more scheduling friction, not less.
Yes. DonnaPro EAs work exclusively with CEOs, founders, and executives - including US-based leaders across our 110+ industries served. They understand:
They're not learning on your dime. They come trained, experienced, and ready to operate at executive level from day one.
DonnaPro operates under GDPR standards (European Union data protection regulations) - which are significantly more stringent than most US requirements. Your data is handled with institutional-grade security protocols.
We work with CEOs managing confidential investor information, proprietary business strategies, and sensitive client relationships. Security isn't an afterthought - it's foundational to how we operate.
For specific compliance requirements in your industry (finance, healthcare, etc.), we can discuss your needs during onboarding to ensure proper protocols.
According to DonnaPro's experience across 110+ industries, clients regularly delegate 70+ different task types. Your EA handles the complete operational ecosystem that keeps your leadership role functioning:
They handle the administrative work that keeps your operation running so you can focus on the strategic decisions that actually move your business forward.
9 days from initial call to your EA starting work. Here's the process:
No months-long hiring cycles. No endless interviews. No payroll setup headaches. Just systematic onboarding and fast deployment.
We're confident in our matching process - 91% of clients stay after the trial period - but we're also realistic: not every pairing is perfect on the first try.
If the fit isn't right, we'll rematch you with a different EA at no additional cost. Our goal is long-term partnership, not short-term transactions.
Most clients stay with their EA long-term because we focus on quality matching upfront rather than volume placement.
While your US-based competitors are paying $100K for assistants who work 8-hour shifts, you could have executive-level support running operations while you sleep at a fraction of the cost.
The timezone difference isn't a limitation - it's a strategic advantage. Your EA handles coordination overnight. You wake up ahead. You execute while they prep for tomorrow. Rinse and repeat.
