Case Study: KOMPAS VC Elevates Operations with Exceptional Executive Assistant

KOMPAS VC hired Marette as an Executive Assistant to support the fund’s parters. She quickly proved herself through strong day-to-day execution and proactive problem-solving.

As her impact grew, so did her scope - from traditional EA support to leading event planning, handling executive travel, and even covering their Ops Manager during maternity leave. She’s since earned multiple pay rises, taken on strategic projects, and become a key player in the firm's operational rhythm.

Client feedback: “Her impact on company output is remarkable.” – Meg George, KOMPAS VC.
