Executive Assistants vs Robots: How Technology is Changing the Landscape of Support

Meg George, former Executive Assistant to the Founder of Coinbase and Paradigm and currently the Events, Facilities and Operations Manager at Even, discusses the role of technology within the executive support and office support roles. Living in Silicon Valley, the hub of technology innovation, we see technology platforms gobbling up an increasing number of functions that used to be handled by humans. We wanted to ask the question, how much, if any of the Executive Assistant and Office Manager role, will ultimately be subsumed by technology. In this episode, Meg talks with us about whether we should be threatened by technology or excited about the additional leverage technology can bring to the support role. She also highlights her go-to tech tools that make her job easier.
