The Title Is the Problem: Why "Executive Assistant" Falls Short

The work has evolved. The title has not.

For over twenty years, Anne K. Browning has sat beside senior leaders, guiding priorities, protecting time, and driving impact at the highest levels. Yet the title Executive Assistant has too often minimized, mislabeled, and misunderstood the role.

When the words are wrong, the system is wrong. Titles shape pay, authority, and opportunity. Misalignment stalls careers, drives away talent, and quietly costs organizations millions.

This is not a guide on how to be an assistant. It's a call to change the language. Until the title catches up, the gap between value and recognition will remain one of business's most expensive blind spots.
