EMAIL AND CALENDAR.
Nick’s first overseas hire was an EA.
Over time, she became his Chief of Staff.
Build the relationship from there.
MAKE SPACE FOR YOUR BEST WORKYou don’t have to
You don’t have to
be the one doing it all.
Think about the work that fills your day but doesn’t need your attention. That’s a good place to start.
A calendar with room to think.
Scheduling, meeting preparation, travel plans, and protected time for your most important work.
The details, taken care of.
Research, vendor coordination, invoices, and the admin that keeps a business moving.
Someone who closes the loop.
Action items tracked, people followed up with, and fewer things waiting on you.
THE RIGHT HELP, AT THE RIGHT STAGE
An EA or a Chief of Staff?
Start with what you need someone to own. The title comes second.
Executive assistant
A reliable partner for the details of your working life.
- Own your inbox, calendar, and scheduling
- Coordinate travel, research, and vendors
- Prepare meetings and track follow-ups
A good starting point if admin keeps pulling you away from the work only you can do.
Chief of Staff
An experienced partner for priorities, projects, and coordination.
- Coordinate work across your team
- Turn priorities into plans and follow-through
- Prepare decisions and surface issues early
A good starting point if your business needs someone to help drive execution across people and projects.
Nick’s EA grew into her role over time. A senior Chief of Staff is a different search, with experience and compensation matched to the responsibilities.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERINGLet’s clear
Let’s clear
a few things up.
Do I need to know exactly who I want to hire?
No. Bring a list of the work you want to hand over. We can help you think through whether you need an EA, a Chief of Staff, or another kind of support.
What should I budget?
That depends on the responsibilities, experience, location, and hours you need. We’ll talk through candidate compensation and Somewhere’s fees separately, so you understand the full hiring cost.
Does my hire need to be in South Africa?
Nick hired his EA in South Africa. Your search should reflect your own needs: communication, experience, budget, and time-zone coverage. We can talk through the options with you.
How do I get a new EA up to speed?
Nick started with email and calendar management, recorded how he handled tasks, and wrote down his communication preferences. Clear priorities and regular feedback help you build a working relationship before handing over more responsibility.
