Ed is an amazing coordinator and collaborator. The title virtual assistant doesn't begin to cover his capabilities or accomplishments. He's supportive, detail oriented, on point with follow through, and never misses a beat. I can't wait to work together again.
Allison Monaghan McGuire founder, The McGuire Method
Ed and I worked closely together for close to 3 years when I was the Chief Strategy Officer of Y&R North America. Ed’s years of experience looking after demanding executives combined with his people skills made him my indispensable partner. There’s no way I could have achieved everything I did during those years without him.
Ed is indefatigable. He is on top of every little detail that might seem insignificant but will cause a major disruption and headache when not managed properly. He is always three steps ahead.
The result? Things move along. No drama. Everything happens when it needs to happen. Seamlessly and effortlessly so it seems. Just like you need it to be.
Work with him and you will know what it means to have Ed with you in the trenches every step of the way. The gentle quiet force.

Dick de Lange managing director, global head of strategy, Huge Advertising
For three years, Ed was my trusted and invaluable partner. Our collaboration allowed me to concentrate on running the global strategy team for Y&R and work with clients to drive business growth while he handled everything else. He took on every challenge and ensured problems were avoided completely or quickly solved. He made decisions on my behalf and importantly, ensured everyone on our team regardless of where they were in the world, felt heard. And all of this remotely, with me either on the road or on a different coast. I couldn't have done it without him.

former Global Strategy Officer, VML Y&R
It's hard to find someone you can trust to deliver and manage all components of an important event. Ed successfully managed the logistics, the attendees, the talent and the content of a global conference, taking charge of all aspects. This takes intuition into what's needed and decisiveness to get the job done.
Jimmy O’Mahony Global Director, Nutrition Innovation
Ed was an outstanding executive assistant, and excelled far beyond that role. He is much more intelligent than the job he did, and was excellent in every way. Like a “rolls Royce to go shopping.” He was brilliant. He is likeable, hardworking and if you gave him something it was just as good as if you did it yourself. He is a class act, and an inveterate team player. I'd re-hire him in a heartbeat.
Jerry Judge, CEO The Fearless Group
former Chairman and CEO, of Lowe Worldwide
Across seven years, Ed functioned as 1) my personal assistant, making my life incredibly easy; 2) regional coordinator – interacting with agency management and his counterpart for business development; 3) global event coordinator and training manager; 4) representing me to the outside – over the phones and email. This was vital. I traveled a lot, so Ed was left to deal with clients calling in and fielding irate clients as well. Ed had the intelligence, maturity and communication skills to represent me with clients and my management colleagues around the world, able to represent me at the highest level. He is fantastic, able to build relationships with people all over the world – many of whom he had never met. In a network of about 5000 people, Ed could probably call 1000 of them and they would pick up the phone if they knew it was him calling. Ed’s strengths include that he is “super-smart”. He is a great communicator and a great writer. When he sees something that is not right, he works until it is done. He puts his heart into it. When he left there was a network of flags at half mast.
