Pa Online

PA Online BV is a Netherlands-based firm founded in 2000 by Franziska Szabo, an expert in boardroom operations and decision-making. The company has completed over 500 placements in senior personal assistant and executive support roles and operates a flagship Meeting Cost Reduction programme. This seven-week structured intervention addresses the cost of ineffective meetings by introducing decision-owning protocols, agenda discipline and preparation oversight within organisations, with documented average reductions in meeting time of 30% and typical programme payback within six months.

Beyond its core leadership development work, PA Online BV provides recruitment and placement services for multilingual personal assistants, executive assistants and office managers serving C-suite leaders and governing boards. Franziska Szabo brings 15 years of boardroom experience from senior corporate roles, having observed first-hand how poor meeting structure undermines decision velocity. She established PA Online BV to apply this operational knowledge systematically to organisational challenges.

The firm offers a portfolio of e-learning courses in meeting mastery and email management, team training in AI-enabled workflows, and personalised consulting through the MCR-Audit assessment process. PA Online's approach combines practical assessment of client meeting patterns with tailored intervention design, positioning the firm as a specialist in both talent placement and organisational process improvement for executive teams.
