Built by an Executive Assistant, for Founders Who Want to Scale
A decade inside the industry — then a better way to do it.
Virtual Assist Pros was founded by Yanie Obenza in 2019.
After more than a decade working as a Virtual Assistant, Yanie experienced firsthand the challenges on both sides — founders overwhelmed with operations, and assistants being underutilized or misaligned.
She saw a recurring problem: businesses weren't failing because of lack of effort — but because of lack of the right support structure.
Virtual Assist Pros was created as a solution to that problem.
Not just to provide assistants — but to build a smarter, more structured way of supporting founders.
This is her way of giving back to the industry that shaped her career — by raising the standard of what Virtual Assistants can be and how they operate inside businesses.
