Athena Executive Partner (XP)

Full-life context
Your XP integrates seamlessly into your life, offering both personal and professional support to help you allocate your time and energy effectively.
Proactive support
By knowing your priorities and patterns, your XP can identify opportunities and anticipate your needs, using AI to automate tasks and get more done.

Over time, your XP will go from capable operator to indispensable partner, ultimately functioning as an extension of you.
Rigorous ongoing training
XPs are continually upskilled in project management, strategic communication, stakeholder management, and AI tools.
Not another direct report
Athena takes on the managerial process—training, performance reviews, and career development.  Your share clear goals, context, and feedback.

Your XP receives above-market compensation, best-in-class benefits, devices and software, and continuing education.
Enterprise-grade security

Traditional Executive Assistant
High effort, high risk
Costly and time-consuming hiring process with shorter tenures.
Inconsistent quality
EA skills, networks, and commitments vary, with no ongoing training or oversight.
Limited scope
Support confined to office-based administrative tasks that restrict initiative and ability to go beyond the basics.
No continuity
High employee turnover leads to wasted time, missing context, and a lack of trust.
No safety net
You are responsible for payroll, benefits, compliance, and data security.

Frequently Asked Questions

About your Executive Partner (XP)
Why should I hire an Athena XP instead of hiring an EA on my own?
Hiring your own executive assistant is high-risk, time-consuming, costly, and results in shorter tenures. Athena does the work for you. We start with the top 1% of applicants, perform thorough background and reference checks, and provide in-person training and ongoing education. Every Executive Partner (XP) has a personal manager and an extensive network of peers they can rely on to answer their questions. And to take additional work off your plate, your XP is employed through Athena and we handle payroll, benefits, compliance, and data security.
Executive Coaching at Athena
What type of coaching is included with membership?
Executive Coaching is included with every membership. Executive Coaching is a professional development process where experienced coaches work one-on-one with leaders and executives to enhance their leadership effectiveness, decision-making abilities, and overall performance. This collaborative partnership typically results in improved leadership presence, better strategic thinking, enhanced emotional intelligence, and ultimately stronger business outcomes for both the individual leader and their organization.
Referral program
Does Athena have a referral program?
Yes. Every Athena Member is automatically enrolled in our referral program, which offers some of the strongest incentives in the industry for both you and your referrals. The specific rewards change periodically, and they’re always designed to offer true value to you, your referrals and your XP.
