Samantha Andonian
Samantha Andonian is a San Francisco-based executive business partner who has spent more than a decade as the operational right hand to founders and C-suite leaders. She started as a stage manager and theater producer before turning that backstage discipline into a career supporting CEOs and chief product officers at Google, Slack, Bumble, Render and Splice. Beyond her own desk, she is an active voice in the executive-assistant community through eaMAFIA/eaRISE, mentoring EAs and pushing the field to be treated as a strategic profession rather than clerical support.

Legally bound to weigh profit against public benefit, the company routes a share of proceeds and cultural attention toward nonprofit partners working on gender and racial equity, youth empowerment, and gun-violence prevention.
