Executive Support. Always Within Reach
Hi, I’m April Stewart, Founder of Pocket-EA and a Senior Executive Assistant with more than a decade of experience supporting C-suite and senior leaders across tech, finance, and start-ups. I’ve worked alongside CEOs, VPs, and global teams through M&A integrations, board preparation, executive communications, international travel, and large-scale operations.
Pocket-EA was created with a simple goal: to give leaders access to the clarity and leverage of senior-level support—without the cost of a full-time hire. By handling the details, removing friction, and building structure into the day-to-day, I enable executives to stay focused on leading.
Clients choose Pocket-EA for discretion, adaptability, and execution under pressure. Whether you need targeted, ad-hoc help or an ongoing partnership, I deliver the same level of professionalism, urgency, and trusted support that has defined my career.
Who I am
Why I Created The Pocket Method™
After more than a decade supporting CEOs, founders, and senior leaders, I noticed the same patterns: too much time lost in inboxes, projects stalled from lack of accountability, and leaders entering critical meetings unprepared.
I designed The Pocket Method™ to solve those problems once and for all. It condenses years of experience into a repeatable process:
Stabilize the chaos.
Structure the workflows.
Scale the leadership.
The Pocket Method™ isn’t about clocking hours — it’s about creating systems that allow executives to lead with focus, confidence, and efficiency.
Stabilize Plan
For executives who need immediate relief and order restored in their day-to-day operations.
What I Do for You:
Inbox Management: Daily triage of your inbox to surface VIPs, file clutter, and draft responses. You’ll only see what truly matters.
Calendar Management: Proactive scheduling, conflict resolution, and buffer protection so your time aligns with your priorities.
Expense Management: Receipts collected, reconciled, and submitted on time through your preferred finance system.
Personal Admin Support: Discreet handling of travel, reservations, gifting, and other personal logistics.
Weekly Control Report: Delivered every Friday, summarizing what’s been completed, what’s next, and anything requiring your attention.
The Outcome:
You regain control and breathing room. Your inbox is calm, your calendar reflects your priorities, your expenses are handled, and your personal admin doesn’t distract from leadership.
