About Us
DISCOVER OUR STORY AND VISION


Welcome to NexGen Virtual Executive Assistance. Founded by me, Sabrina Cohen, a former Senior Executive Assistant with over 25 years of experience supporting the CEOs and senior leaders of some of the most prestigious global corporations. Having seen first-hand what it takes to keep operations running seamlessly, I created NexGen to bring that same standard of excellence into the virtual space.
My mission is to provide reliable and efficient remote assistance that enables leaders to focus on their strategic goals. From managing schedules and correspondence to event and project management, we ensure that every detail is taken care of efficiently.
Drawing on a respected background in the financial services, investment banking, insurance, and wealth management sectors, I founded NexGen to redefine the Virtual Assistance industry, and to help shape the future of Executive Support. NexGen is pioneering a new era for the modern Executive Assistant by embracing how AI innovation, and hybrid working is redefining their role.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the corporate world's most talented and visionary executives, whilst gaining experience across a diverse spectrum of companies. These opportunities have provided me with direct insight into the many ways Executive Support systems are designed and implemented. They’ve also fueled my passion for creating innovative, high-impact solutions that genuinely enhance productivity.
I understand that Executive Assistance is never a “one-size-fits-all” service, and my career as an Elite EA has equipped me with a unique vantage point on the varied support methods used across businesses of every scale. From the complex frameworks of global corporations to the agile processes of entrepreneurial enterprises, I’ve woven these insights into the bespoke strategies embeded within NexGen’s service packages, ensuring efficient, tailored, and truly effective support.
At NexGen, we’re redefining what Virtual Assistance truly means for modern businesses. My goal is to build a partnership that goes far beyond transactional support; one that infuses strategic insight and industry expertise into the very fabric of your operations.
Together, we’ll craft tailored strategies that not only streamline your workload but also elevate your overall business performance.
I invite you to book a complimentary consultation so we can explore how NexGen can help unlock the full potential of your business.
FAQs - Frequently asked questions
NexGen is a premium professional services agency delivering tech-enabled, emotionally intelligent executive support to high-performing leaders worldwide. Founded by Sabrina Cohen, an elite Executive Assistant with over 25 years of experience. We specialise in strategic assistance that blends precision, discretion, and empathy to empower modern leadership.
NexGen Virtual Executive Assistance isn’t built on volume, it’s built on precision and presence. We don’t offer generic support; we deliver a strategic partnership. We don’t just assist - we anticipate.
NexGen blends elite EA expertise with cutting-edge technology and emotionally intelligent leadership. Every detail, from our meticulous onboarding flows through to our branded policies, is designed to reflect our commitment to excellence and professional authority.
This ensures that every interaction that you have with us is seamless, and personalised.
Founder-Led Ethos: NexGen is shaped by a founder who has over 25 years of working with senior executives and therefore understands the nuances, confidentiality, discretion, and precision required at the highest levels of global leadership.
Our focus on anticipating your needs, rather than just responding to them, sets us apart and guarantees a superior client experience.
While a typical VA provides transactional support, such as, diary bookings, inbox management, and admin processing, this kind of help is often reactive, task-driven, and limited in scope. Traditional VAs free up time, but they rarely contribute meaningfully to scaling a business or supporting leadership at a strategic level.
We bring Elite Executive Assistant expertise - the same calibre of professionalism and discretion you’d expect from an in-office Executive Assistant supporting at C-suite level.
We operate as a strategic partner. Beyond managing administration, we deliver executive level support that drives sustainable growth, including strategic planning, project management, and process optimisation.
Our focus is on building systems that enhance operational efficiency, strengthen leadership bandwidth, and assist you to create the conditions for scalable and resilient business growth.
In essence, whilst traditional VAs focus on today’s workload, a NexGen VEA propels your business into tomorrow, equipping leaders with the clarity, foresight, and infrastructure to scale with confidence.
Yes. For clients who require a physical presence alongside virtual support, NexGen offers Continuum and Concierge, our hybrid executive partnerships. Both are tailored to blend on-site support with our established virtual infrastructure, giving you the relationship depth of an in-person assistant with the scalability, continuity, and oversight of a premium remote model.
Both services are currently available for clients who have offices in or would like to meet with their assistant in London, however, each partnership is individually scoped to reflect your business rhythm, onsite needs, and executive style.
At NexGen, our Virtual Executive Partners are not generalists. They are seasoned, professionals with deep expertise in executive support, operations, and strategic administration.
Our partners are carefully selected from senior talent pools across the UK, Europe, and the US, bringing global perspective, discretion, and world-class capability. They support founders, C-suite leaders, board directors, and high-performance organisations who expect exceptional standards.
