Handled. By Hayden & Co

Time is a founder’s most limited resource, and your ability to scale depends on how you spend it. At Handled. By Hayden & Co, we help visionary founders and CEOs escape chronic overwhelm and reclaim the time, clarity, and capacity to lead. Our high-caliber Executive Assistants (EAs) offer strategic partnership, not just task execution. We specialize in: Fractional (remote) EA retainers: part-time or full-time support tailored to your needs, led by proactive, seasoned professionals who think ahead and manage up. Direct-hire recruiting: premium placement services to help you find a full-time Executive Assistant who fits your leadership style, culture, pace, and long-term vision. Our team doesn’t wait to be told what to do; we lead with you and take a manage-up approach, protecting your time like it's our job - because it is. Each EA is hand-selected for their ability to deliver high-impact results, create operational breathing room, and elevate your entire business infrastructure. Whether you’re stuck in inbox triage, calendar chaos, or decision fatigue, the fix isn’t doing more; it’s building the right support around you so you can spend your time on the things that only you can do. Founded by Hayden Orme, former EA to top Founders and C-suite leaders at companies like Brightcove, Novartis, and McKesson (a Fortune 5 company at the time), HBH & Co. brings seasoned expertise and high-caliber support with entrepreneurial agility. We understand what true executive partnership requires and what it unlocks. At HBH & Co, we believe burnout isn’t a badge of honor. You don’t need to do it all to lead well; you need the right support to optimize your time so you can actually stop being the bottleneck and lead effectively. Empowering Leaders. Reclaiming Capacity. Scaling Sustainably.
