About
More than an extra pair of hands.
I take ownership of the details that keep executives and teams moving—from calendars, travel, and events to finance, coordination, and organizational support. My approach is proactive, organized, and built around making your day-to-day work easier.
I’m a remote Executive Assistant with an MBA, a background in accounting, and more than eight years across administration, accounting, and operations. Most recently I supported executives and teams at the Ethereum Foundation, coordinating calendars, travel, events, finance, grants, recruitment, and team operations across a globally distributed organization.

Pricing
Ways to work together.
Start with an introductory engagement. We’ll establish priorities, understand your working style, and determine the right level of support before discussing a longer-term partnership.
01 — Introductory Engagement
Start with one month.
A focused first month to establish priorities, learn how you work, and see what a strong working relationship looks like.
$6,000
One month · Scope agreed before we begin
Covers calendar and communications, travel management, and research and operations, shaped around your priorities. There is no automatic renewal: what comes next is a separate decision we make together.
02 — Executive Partnership
The long-term arrangement.
A 12-month partnership for executives who want a reliable partner behind the scenes, taking ownership of the details and keeping priorities moving.
Scope and price are tailored in a proposal to your responsibilities, workload, availability, and the support required, usually after the introductory month.

Demi Valdez, trading as DGV Works, Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. Contact: demi@dgvworks.com.
What is collected
Your full name, email address, company, your message, and, if you choose to add them, your company website, LinkedIn profile and phone number or preferred contact method. Please don’t send passwords, payment details, identity documents or confidential files through the form.
Why it is used

Where it is stored
Inquiries are saved to a private Google Sheet in Demi’s Google account and sent to her by email. Only Demi can access them. The website also loads its fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google’s servers when the page loads.

Portfolio
Case studies, sample workflows, and event photography from work I have personally handled for executives and globally distributed teams.
The workflows shown are based on real work I have personally handled. Client names, sensitive information, and specific details have been anonymized or recreated to protect confidentiality while accurately representing the scope and nature of my work.
Case studies
Event experience
Eight events. Five countries.
From a 30-person cohort in Chiang Mai to an Arctic team gathering I organized on my own. Select any event in the timeline to see the details.
How every message is handled
The value isn’t checking email. It’s deciding what matters, getting it to the right place, and closing the loop.
I work across multiple email accounts, team chat, and messaging apps. Scheduling conversations end up resolved on the calendar, and every request is tracked until it is done.
Calendar across time zones
Wednesday’s New York check-in sits at 15:00 Berlin (09:00 New York) because the original 14:00 slot would have landed at 20:00 in Singapore. Travel time and buffers are blocked, and focus time stays protected.

10:00–11:00 · Berlin 10:00 · Singapore 16:00 · Philippines 16:00
Meeting preparation
I don’t simply put meetings on a calendar. I make sure the meeting can actually happen successfully.
