Digital-Native CEO needs a Tech-Savvy Personal Assistant

A dynamic, digital entrepreneur approached Knightsbridge Recruitment as they were looking for a Personal Assistant.  They needed someone who fully embraced tech.  Their PA needed to be able to manage inboxes, travel and scheduling – but it was essential they were also digitally fluent and confident handling CRM systems, AI tools, Slack, and social media.

His current PA with a conventional corporate background had struggled with the pace, as well as working remotely. The CEO needed a PA who could match both the technical demands of the role and the forward-thinking culture of the company.

Knightsbridge Recruitment understood that this wasn’t about years of experience – it was about mindset, adaptability and digital confidence. 

We focused our search on candidates who: 

• Had experience in tech/start-up settings
• Were comfortable with remote collaboration tools 
• Could learn quickly, communicate clearly and operate autonomously
• Brought core PA strengths – discretion, structure, and initiative – alongside digital capability

We produced a shortlist of 3 agile and culturally aligned PAs who could support a digital founder with both professionalism and pace.

The founder hired a standout PA with a background in a scaling fintech – they were confident in digital systems and accustomed to informal rapid-fire communication. 

She quickly streamlined the founder’s workflow using productivity tools and automation – and even helped the team implement a new task management platform. Her impact was immediate, practical and transformative.
