“Our family started with one Athena EA and we love her so much we’ve now hired multiple Athena EAs. Athena gives us time and freedom.”
Ryan Hudson
Founder of Honey
"I recently hired an EA. Her name is Ida. For years I was hesitant to hire help, unsure of what to offload. Tbh, I was lacking creativity. Over the last few months Ida's helped me with a ton of personal and work projects."
Ryan Hoover
Founder of Product Hunt
"I started with one Athena EA and it was so impactful that I’ve now hired 20 Athena EAs for my company. Level’s growth has been directly fuelled by Athena."

Why Athena

The Athena Difference

We hire less than 1% of all the legal assistants we interview
Athena admits only the top 1% of assistant applicants. That’s more exclusive than Harvard.
Athena’s Training Academy means your assistant is constantly upskilling
We train your Assistant on new delegation playbooks, fill knowledge gaps, and give them expert coaches to lean on for niche legal needs.
AI Powered Assistants
Over 50% of Athena Assistants use AI every week and 100% of our Assistants use AI every month. Tools include ChatGPT, HumanLoop, Zapier, FirefliesAI, OtterAI, and others.

Athena develops AI apps to give an “assistant to our assistants” to exponentially increase their productivity and output. Our apps enable assistants to do things like pre-draft emails in your tone and proactively suggest delegations from your existing workflows.

FAQs

What measures are in place to ensure security, privacy, and confidentiality?

We take security, privacy, and confidentiality very seriously. We have a Chief Information Security Officer in place, and in addition, every Assistant receives a comprehensive third-party background check, character references, and previous employers are contacted. Security and privacy rules are reviewed regularly during and after training to ensure your Assistant is aligned with all precautions. Information Security Awareness Training is required annually for all employees. Learn more about our Security Measures.

Are your executive assistants permitted to manage sensitive client information?

Yes, our executive assistants are fully capable and permitted to manage sensitive client information. Each Assistant undergoes thorough background checks and extensive security training, including Information Security Awareness Training, which is required annually. They operate under strict confidentiality agreements and follow robust security protocols to safeguard your information. Additionally, every Assistant is equipped with an Athena-issued, fully secured MacBook, which includes Mobile Device Management software to ensure data protection. Rest assured, Athena is committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality for all client information.

How does working with Athena differ from a virtual assistant or a traditional staffing company?

Athena is different in two ways. First, our mission is a win-win for you and your remote Executive Assistant. With Athena, you'll form one-to-one partnerships where your goals become your Assistant’s to help you reach your highest potential. And your Assistant will access an incredible career opportunity not readily available for them locally. Second, your dedicated Assistant is more than just a one-off task taker. You'll leverage significant impact across your career and reach new levels of fulfillment, health, and stronger relationships. The goal of an Athena Assistant partnership is complete integration into the landscape of your life.

Why should I hire an Athena Assistant instead of hiring an EA on my own?

We hire and train the world's best Executive Assistants. We start with the top 1% of applicants, perform thorough background and reference checks, and provide ongoing training and education so your Assistant continuously improves their skills. Every Assistant has a personal coach and an extensive network of peers they can rely on to answer their questions and conquer almost any obstacle. And to take additional work off your plate, your Assistant is employed through Athena and receives fair compensation, benefits, and more.

Does Athena give me ideas on what to delegate?

Yes, Athena teaches you how to delegate like the best in the world. Our Playbook Library is stacked with inspiration designed to supercharge the partnership with your Executive Assistant, sharpen your delegation skills, and take back more time. Playbooks use real-world experiences tested by delegators and their Assistants.
