Our story

Why we built Viva

Viva started with one observation: the best leaders were losing hours every day, not to the work itself, but to how the work around them got handled. We set out to fix that.

The problem

A productivity gap hiding in plain sight

Our team spent years inside fast-growing companies. Everywhere we looked, we saw the same pattern: talented executives buried in scheduling, inboxes and follow-up. The problem was rarely the work. It was how that work got handled.

It is easy to miss because it looks like being busy. But that hidden drag slows companies down and wears good leaders out.

The cost of ignoring it

Left unsolved, it shows up in three places

Time

Growth slows when your leaders cannot spend their hours on the decisions only they can make.

Focus

Teams feel it too. Constant context-switching leaves less room for coaching, priorities and steady leadership.

Wellbeing

The load quietly turns into stress and burnout, taking energy that should go to the real problems.

Our mission

A better standard for how leaders work

No one teaches you how to run your time as an executive. Viva exists to change that: to pair leaders with dedicated, vetted assistants and a way of working that hands their hours back.

We match US executives with skilled nearshore talent across Latin America, managed end to end by Viva so support just works from day one.

Leadership
