meet the founder
I created RiseA because I know exactly what it feels like to be the person everyone relies on while often neglecting your own growth.
With over 20 years of experience supporting C-suite executives, boards, and senior leaders, I've navigated the complex demands of the corporate world firsthand – at the front line. My career has taken me across diverse industries including healthcare, medical, hospitality, construction, property, and recruitment, where I learned that being a great Executive Assistant is about much more than managing a calendar.
Throughout my career, I didn't just type minutes or book flights. I acted as a strategic partner: managing office renovations and technical rollouts, coordinating large-scale events for hundreds of employees, and serving as the critical bridge for Board of Directors meetings. I know the pressure of managing competing priorities and the nuance required to foster relationships with high-level stakeholders.
But I also know the isolation that comes with the role.
I founded RiseA to be the mentor I wish I had: someone to help you move from "reactive support" to "proactive partner." Whether you're looking to master the latest AI tools to increase efficiency or need the confidence to lead in a leadership meeting, I'm here to provide the templates, the strategy, and the roadmap for your success.
Let's rise together.
Emma Hyatt
Founder, RiseA
