About Gretchen

Gretchen is an extremely accomplished, experienced & educated tech-savvy Virtual Assistant and Project Manager, with 22 years of business experience. She has produced positive, enduring results for high-echelon clients. Far more than a Virtual Assistant, Gretchen is a person who is detail-oriented, driven, and direct, whose opinion is highly sought after, and whose strategies are respected and trusted. She also has an incredible intuition when it comes to her clients.

​

Gretchen's executive assistance experience has given her the chance to develop project plans, manage budgets, build relationships, and plan events. Her clients appreciate her effective communication skills and keep them abreast of project progress and milestones. They describe her attention to detail as "meticulous". Her passion for simplifying clients' lives drives everything she does professionally. To ensure complete customer satisfaction, she is always ready to go the extra mile - starting early and staying late, if need be - to accomplish a task. She approaches each assignment with a mindset of ownership, treating it as if it were her own venture. Having grown up in an entrepreneurial family, she understands the value of time and resources for business operators.
