ABOUT ELENA
Elena Navarro built her career through supporting C-Suite level executives. Elena always brings a “new age” feel to the executive support role. From her working style, to how she conducts business, all the way down to her heels! She has always shown up as herself and for that she can proudly say her success has been built through complete authenticity. Being the right hand “woman” of executives is not a job for the weak, as most EA’s know. It truly takes a certain person and a hell of a lot of grit to take on the life, both professional & personal, of an executive. Elena has had the pleasure of working with some of the top executives across multiple industries. Some have even gone above and beyond to personally mentor her throughout her time as an Executive Assistant – and now, Executive Business Partner!
This career has been so rewarding, but it has also come with its share of negative attention as well. Elena launched this business to coach current and future EA’s through the “not so pretty” side of this career. Elena was 20 years old when she fell into this business and wished she had a “her” at that time to get the proper support and coaching for all that comes with this position. Elena will be sharing all that she can, in hopes that her personal experiences can help aspiring EA’s. Elena is excited to educate those on everything that encompasses an executive support role, while also coaching up EA’s so they can take their career to the next level!
