Pickle’s Executive Support Helps Muuto Reclaim Focus And Momentum

Why Muuto chose Pickle’s executive assistant services

Muuto chose Pickle for one simple reason: confidence.

Rather than recruiting, onboarding and managing an individual EA, Pickle offered immediate access to a trusted pool of experienced, virtual executive assistants, already vetted, trained and ready to go.

With embedded executive assistants already trained and operationally ready, Muuto benefited from faster impact, reduced internal effort and reliable cover during holidays or absences – all without the cost or commitment of full-time headcount.

The leadership capacity challenge

Muuto is a boutique, fully virtual management consultancy specialising in organisational transformation. With three Client Partners focused on business development and delivery, the business faced a familiar scaling problem: too much valuable senior time was being swallowed by admin.

Diary management, travel, expenses and documentation were pulling attention away from client work and growth. The Ops team also felt the strain, spending unnecessary time chasing admin instead of driving the business forward.

Muuto needed flexible, high‑quality executive support that could integrate quickly into a virtual setup without the time and risk involved in hiring.

Embedded executive assistant support delivered

Pickle paired Muuto with a dedicated Executive Assistant who embedded seamlessly into the business. Support covered:

Complex diary and inbox management
Travel planning and logistics
Expense management
RFP support and document management
Ad hoc business support, including LinkedIn campaigns

Onboarding was deliberately light‑touch. After meeting the Client Partners, Pickle’s EA got straight to work. No lengthy ramp‑up, no friction.

Operational and leadership impact

The results were immediate and compounding:

More time for growth: Client Partners reclaimed time to focus on business development and client delivery.
Higher productivity: Reduced admin load increased efficiency across both senior leadership and Ops.
Smoother operations: Clear processes and documentation ensured seamless cover when the EA was out of office.

An unexpected bonus? Flexibility. Pickle’s support extended beyond the original brief, adapting as Muuto’s needs evolved.

Business outcomes and efficiency gains

Pickle didn’t just reduce admin, it became part of the team.

Muuto now operates with less friction, fewer bottlenecks and more confidence that the day‑to‑day is handled, so leadership can stay focused on what matters most.
