ORLANDO, FL – October 20, 2025 – Organizational psychologist Joshua Washington, founder of Lee Malveaux, has announced the launch of EA Pros, a new division that redefines the executive assistant profession for the modern business era. The initiative introduces the concept of the Strategic Assistant, a role designed to elevate executive support from administrative execution to measurable partnership.
The Launch
The assistant profession has evolved through several eras, moving from the secretary to the administrator to the executive assistant. According to Joshua Washington, the next leap is overdue. With the rise of artificial intelligence and automation, assistants must now transform their identity and skill set to remain essential contributors to enterprise growth.
The Mission Behind EA Pros
EA Pros was created after Joshua Washington spoke at a major conference for senior-level assistants. Inspired by their ambition and adaptability, he saw an opportunity to help these professionals capture the full value of their role. The division’s programs focus on behavioral mastery, communication agility, and value alignment, preparing assistants to operate as certified strategic partners to leadership teams.
The Founder’s Perspective
“Value is what the marketplace is all about, and the most valuable resource in business is people,” said Joshua Washington, Founder of Lee Malveaux. “Executive assistants are often the unrecognized catalysts of performance. EA Pros gives them a system to measure and multiply that value.”
Redefining the Assistant’s Strategic Identity
The EA Pros model reframes the assistant’s position from support to strategy. Participants learn how to identify their unique strengths, align with organizational priorities, and drive results that can be quantified through leadership performance. The goal is to create a new professional standard, known as the Certified Strategic Partner, representing assistants who directly influence decision quality and execution speed.
A Movement, Not a Program
Joshua Washington views EA Pros as more than a training company. It is a global initiative to modernize how organizations leverage administrative talent. By equipping assistants to think strategically and lead effectively, EA Pros transform the traditional one-to-one executive relationship into a partnership that scales across the enterprise.
