Calendar and Inbox Management for The Soft CEO™
Client: The Soft CEO™
Project: Executive Admin + Systems Strategy
Challenge: The inbox is overflowing. The calendar is triple-booked. The board wants answers. The Soft CEO™ needs a second brain—fast.
🧠 Objective:
We are seeking an elite-level virtual assistant with executive ops expertise, decision-making initiative, and a sixth sense for protecting time, energy, and boundaries.

This is not just email and calendar—it’s calendar triage.
This is not just admin—it’s executive energy preservation.
This is C-suite-level calm in human form.

🗝️ What We’re Evaluating
Strategic clarity: Do your systems feel effortless and executive-level?
Decision-making strength: Are you thinking like a Chief of Staff, not a task-taker?

The Memo
Visionary. Vulnerable. Triple-booked.
Who I Am
I am The Soft CEO™—a man with big ideas, billion-dollar energy, and a terrible relationship with my Google Calendar. I build companies that shape the culture, disrupt the market, and look damn good doing it. But behind the scenes? I’m one triple-booked meeting away from snapping.
I didn’t get here by being ruthless.
I got here by being relentless.
Empathetic. Curious. Overcommitted.
What I Do
I lead like a human, not a headline.
I dream in data, but I operate on vibes.
I scale companies that change lives—but I still forget to check Slack.
My team is brilliant.
My inbox is on fire.
My ideas are ten years ahead—but my systems are stuck in 2015.
I need help—not hype.
What I Believe
Boundaries are strategy.
Saying “no” is a leadership skill.
And clarity is the new charisma.
I believe visionary founders deserve ops support that protects their peace and amplifies their power.
I believe business should feel beautiful on the backend.
And I believe no one—no one—can build an empire alone.
Who I Serve
I serve the clients who think fast and move faster.
The brands who care as much about impact as income.
The people building futures—quietly, urgently, imperfectly.
But right now?
Now, I need someone to serve me—because the Soft CEO™ can’t keep playing hardball with burnout.
I’m the founder who needs a firewall.
The inbox introvert who forgets to follow up.
The visionary who will save the company—once I find that damn Zoom link.
My Method
I build with heart, head, and high-level strategy.
But I need a partner who can manage the madness.
A VA who doesn’t just organize—but anticipates.
Who can create calm in my chaos—and still leave room for creativity.
I don’t need a magician.
I need a system. A safeguard. A second-in-command. Thought partner?
Because being The Soft CEO™ doesn’t mean I’m weak.
It means I actually give a damn—and I’m ready to build better.
The Mission
To lead with humanity and scale with soul.
To build empires that don’t cost me my peace.
To redefine what executive excellence looks like—calm, conscious, and well-structured AF.
Because the real flex isn’t the valuation.
It’s the vibration you move with.
