About Executive Advantage
Our Story
Executive Advantage was founded by Mackensie Hashian as a way to use her talents as an Executive Assistant to help support others as an independent contractor. She found that commuting for hours a day into a traditional 9-5 career was not only an inefficient use of time but also kept her away from her loving family. After becoming a stay at home mom in late 2019, she realized that she has the ability and motivation to continue her work as a top level assistant while simultaneously raising a family. Mackensie is happy to now offer her professional services on a contractual basis. This new way of working and assisting saves time and money for everyone!
Executive Advantage quickly took off and has grown to a small team of Executive Assistants all with the same mission. Imagine having access to a professional Executive Assistant without having to onboard a full time employee. Executive Advantage offers just that, devoting our time to give you back more of your own time. We are dedicated to offering top quality assistance to our clients and strive to provide superior remote support to busy executives and organizations. Our custom tiered approach allows us to serve clients at varying stages of growth, making Executive Advantage accessible to any size company with any budget.
