The Executive and PA Association is exactly the kind of community every assistant in Switzerland needs. It’s more than just a network — it’s a support system where members genuinely uplift and mentor one another, not only through work-related challenges but in every aspect of life. I lost my job five months ago, and like many others, it left me feeling mentally drained. But thanks to this incredible group, I never gave up — not even for a day. We don’t let each other sink. When one of us is down, the rest step in with encouragement, empathy, and zero judgment. Now that I’ve found a new job — with the support, advice, and strength of this amazing group behind me — I feel even more grateful to be part of such a resilient and empowering community. Being surrounded by people who genuinely want to see each other grow made all the difference. I’m incredibly proud to be a member of this association.

This network is invaluable to help our diverse community of high-level admins grow and adapt, in these exciting times of accelerating changes. The challenges are of existential nature and we cannot keep thinking and doing the same if we wish to be happy as a professional and as a human being.

Marie-Ange Shum

Executive Personal Assistant

When I discovered the Executive PA Network, it was just a week after I had learned that my position was being relocated from Geneva. Having only been in the role for a year, the prospect of job hunting was daunting, and I wasn't eager to dive into it. However, during my garden leave, I found immense value in being part of this network. One of the key benefits was gaining insights into salary expectations, something I’ve never been particularly confident about. The members were incredibly supportive, offering guidance on salary ranges and helping me build the confidence to negotiate. Additionally, hearing about others' experiences prepared me to ask the right questions during interviews, allowing me to identify and avoid potential red-flag companies. For me, the Executive PA Network is the ultimate resource for anyone in the administrative profession. The social events are an added bonus, but the friendships I've formed are truly priceless. It’s a relief to have a community that not only understands my challenges but also shares valuable advice on how to navigate them.

As an executive assistant, being part of a dedicated network has been an invaluable asset to my professional and personal growth and success. The connections and resources available through this network have significantly enhanced my ability to support executives effectively and efficiently. One of the greatest benefits has been the opportunity to connect with peers who understand the unique challenges and responsibilities of the role. Through shared experiences and knowledge exchange, I've gained new insights and strategies that have improved my performance. Whether it's navigating complex scheduling, mastering new technology tools, or handling high-pressure situations, having a supportive community to turn to has been indispensable. In essence, being part of an executive assistant network isn't just about networking; it's about belonging to a supportive community that fosters growth, collaboration, and continuous learning. I am grateful for the connections I've made and the knowledge I've gained through the Executive & PA Network.

À mon arrivée dans la communauté, j'ai été accueilli avec beaucoup d'attention et de bienveillance. Je me suis senti très vite à l'aise et ai rapidement tissé de nouveaux liens. Le comité est d'un grand professionnalisme et a toujours le souci des détails qui font toute la différence. On est presque une grande famille !

Despite only a few months of being a member of the Executive & PA Network, I have experienced nothing but a group of extraordinary professionals who are all passionate in pursuing a career in this field of work. The wealth of information that is shared within the group is astonishing. It's like the Yellow Pages for PAs knowledge! Please do keep up the great work and thanks for allowing me to be a part of this caring, sharing and amazing community. #panetworking

I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude to you and to the Executive PA Network for leading such wonderful mentoring program. After my meeting with my mentor, Rachida, this morning, I came away with the heart-warming feeling that I’m well-surrounded, and that I have a great ally and a special advisor as I navigate the Geneva experience.

We had the chance to welcome one of the Executive & PA Network’s events at Novotel Geneva center. Our exchanges with Karine and Daniela were very pleasant, the organization was perfect and participants also really nice. It was truly a good opportunity to showcase our hotel throughout this wonderful network. We will definitively welcome you again and repeat the experience.

J’ai eu l’honneur d'être invitée par l'Association Executive PA Network début 2024 pour animer une conférence sur l'utilisation de LinkedIn, que l'on soit en poste ou en recherche active. L'audience, engagée et attentive, s'est montrée très intéressée par le sujet, ce qui a permis à la communauté de vivre une soirée riche en apprentissages. Karine, Daniela et Gaëlle sont profondément investies dans leur mission, et c’est un véritable plaisir de rencontrer des personnalités aussi inspirantes. De nombreux liens ont été tissés au cours de la soirée, qu'il s'agisse de synergies professionnelles ou de discussions plus personnelles. Au nom de von Rundstedt Suisse et en mon nom propre, nous nous réjouissons de pouvoir continuer à intervenir et partager notre savoir auprès de ce réseau d'Assistantes Exécutives.

Amélie Leger

Community Manager from Von Rundstedt & Partner Suisse SA

Nous avons rejoint Executive & PA Network il y a un an en tant qu'agence événementielle partenaire, en les accompagnant dans l’organisation d’activités, de séminaires et de colloques. Grâce à ce réseau, nous avons pu évoluer main dans la main avec le groupe. Nous sommes fiers de soutenir cette organisation innovante, qui contribue à l’évolution de nombreuses assistantes. Ce partenariat nous a permis de découvrir de nouvelles activités et d’enrichir notre propre structure. En constante évolution, nous relevons chaque défi avec enthousiasme. Un grand merci à Karine, Daniela et à tout le comité de direction pour leur confiance et leur soutien dans cette belle aventure. Ce n’est que le début d’un groupe prometteur et porteur de valeurs fortes qui ne demande qu’à partager leur expérience.
