Your new strategic productivity partner.
I’m Melody, an Executive Right Hand for ambitious leaders who need someone to keep things flowing behind the scenes so they can focus on what only they can do.
Does this sound familiar to you?
You’re great at what you do, but you’re buried in everything else.
Projects pile up. Relationships slip through the cracks. Operations feel chaotic. You’re making a thousand tiny decisions that pull you away from your real work.
You don’t need another VA who waits for task lists. You need someone who sees what needs to happen and handles it – without you having to manage them.
That’s what I do.
I coordinate projects, build systems, and smooth things out so you can get back to doing what you’re actually good at.
What makes me different.
I’m not your typical remote assistant.
I don’t just execute tasks — I anticipate needs.
I don’t just manage your calendar — I protect your time and energy.
I don’t just wait for instructions — I’m two steps ahead, thinking about what you’ll need next.
Here’s what I actually handle:
- Building and maintaining relationships with the people who matter to your work
- Coordinating complex projects with multiple moving parts
- Building systems that work (without overcomplicating things with corporate bureaucracy)
- Smoothing out problems before they become fires
- Thinking strategically about operations so you don’t have to
The result: Your work runs smoother, you have more headspace, and things actually get done.
You get someone who makes your life easier – not someone who adds to your mental load.
Who I work with.
The best matches are with ambitious people. This includes:
- Authors, speakers, consultants, advisors
- Executives building something on the side
- Entrepreneurs scaling from solo to small team
- Anyone juggling multiple high-stakes projects
What they have in common:
- They’re doing interesting work
- They value someone who thinks strategically, not just executes
- They’re ready to actually delegate (not micromanage) – you need to trust me to handle things without constant check-ins
My client load usually consists of 2-3 ongoing projects. This means I’m super selective about who I work with, so you can get my full attention and strategic brainpower, not divided focus.
And I only take on clients where there’s genuine alignment. When it works, it really works.
Shall we talk?
Here’s how it works:
- Apply → Tell me about your work and what you need
- Conversation → We’ll chat to see if we’re a good fit
- Ready, Set, Go → If it feels right, we get started
No pressure. No hard sell. Just an honest conversation about whether I can help.
