Our story

Great leaders deserve great support.

And AI has changed what great support means — forever. Salva Agents exists to close the gap between what business leaders need and what traditional staffing delivers.

Our mission

Redefining the executive assistant

Salva Agents was founded on a simple belief: the best executive assistants aren't born — they're built.

Built, not born
With the right training, the right tools, and real AI certification, a talented professional becomes an elite EA.
AI-forward, human-led
Our agents don't just manage your calendar. They use AI to produce work faster, smarter, and at a higher level — inside a shared desk where you see every task, message, and logged hour.
Certified before day one
Every Salva Agent is handpicked, trained through the Salva Academy, and certified before they ever touch a client's workflow.

Built across two time zones — on purpose

Salva Agents began as Ely's idea. Working in the Philippines' professional-services world, she saw both sides of the gap: world-class, English-fluent talent on one side, and business leaders drowning in operational work on the other — with traditional staffing agencies serving neither particularly well.

Today the founding division of labor is the company in miniature: Ely builds the training content, certifies every agent, and manages them day to day from the Philippines — while Yannis builds and maintains the platform from Switzerland and runs billing and payments.

How we run it

The desk is our operating system, too

We don't sell a platform we don't live in. The same desk your agent works in runs the company behind it.

Supervised pairings

Every client–agent pairing has a named supervisor who reads the work, coaches the agent, and answers your support thread.

Reports and hours, daily

Agents clock in and out and file a daily report. Clients see it; supervisors read it; nobody has to ask.

Our own tools

Discovery calls are booked and held on the platform, support is a thread in the desk, and the team works from the same portals.

Swiss-run, Zurich-hosted

A Swiss company under Swiss contracts, data at rest in Zurich, deletion on request in one operation.

Our training program

The Salva Academy

Every agent graduates from our in-house program before placement. This isn't a two-hour orientation — it's a graded curriculum covering everything a modern executive assistant needs.

The Academy runs on Heartbeat: agents work through the modules, complete exercises, defend their work, and are graded at the end of each module. Heartbeat is also where our agents and the Salva team stay connected as a community — small today, growing deliberately.

What certification means here

Required modules on Heartbeat, each graded at the end
A cognitive assessment and a personality profile on file
A background check, passed before certification
Status flips from in training to certified — before any client

What we stand for

Our core values

Excellence first

Every agent is held to the highest standard — your time is too valuable for anything less.

AI-forward

AI is a force multiplier, not a replacement. Our agents are human experts, supercharged by technology.

Continuous growth

We invest in our agents long after placement — the best EA today should be even better tomorrow.

Full transparency

Tasks, hours, and reports live where you can see them. Trust is built on visibility, not promises.
