About the Client

An internationally recognized Executive Coach, Leadership Mentor, Corporate Trainer, and Founder of the Indian Leadership Academy (ILA) and ILA Global. He has trained over
44,000 professionals across 15+ countries
and works with executives, coaches, trainers, entrepreneurs, and multinational organizations including IBM, Amazon, PayPal, Bosch, Adobe, DHL, Tata, Ericsson, and many more.

As his business continues to expand internationally, particularly across the Philippines, UAE, Australia, and other global markets, he is seeking a proactive Virtual Assistant who can become a key member of his growing global operations team.

Position Overview
