When you’re running at full speed in every direction, it can feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day.
That was the challenge facing one of our clients, a brilliant medical oncologist and academic recognised on Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list in Europe. As someone with incredibly high standards and a meticulous approach to his work, he realised that dedicating hours to scheduling, emails, and other routine tasks wasn’t sustainable.
By investing just one hour of virtual assistant support daily, this busy professional was able to reclaim precious time, focus on what truly mattered, and maintain a better work-life balance.
About the Client

This client is a highly accomplished medical oncologist, academic researcher, and co-founder of a cutting-edge neuroscience start-up. Their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence have made them a leader in their field. However, with a packed schedule that included treating patients, conducting research, and managing a business, the day-to-day tasks were becoming unmanageable.
The Problem
Even for someone naturally organised and detail-oriented, balancing so many high-stakes responsibilities left little room for personal time or strategic thinking. Routine tasks like managing emails, coordinating appointments, and handling personal errands began to pile up, cutting into time better spent on their core work.
The client needed a reliable assistant who could handle these tasks with the same level of precision they expected from themselves - all while saving them valuable time each day.
The Solution

By hiring a dedicated virtual assistant through Remote Bob, the client delegated an average of one hour of tasks daily. This small but impactful change freed up hours each week for them to focus on their clinical work, research, and business ventures.

· Coordinated appointments with healthcare providers, tradespeople, and others.
· Managed a busy calendar, ensuring every meeting was scheduled seamlessly.
Administrative Support
· Drafted and sent emails, transcribed voice memos, and updated important records.
· Maintained the client’s professional e-portfolio.
· Handled claims, refunds, and warranty processes with precision.

Event and Project Coordination

The Result

The client's life took a positive turn with just one hour of daily virtual assistant support.
Instead of being bogged down by administrative tasks, he was finally able to focus on the things he had been missing.
For the first time in months, he was able to organise regular outings with his girlfriend.
He also carved out time to get back into playing squash, plan weekend getaways, and reconnect with friends and family.
Even his dog benefitted, with regular playtime and long, relaxing walks becoming part of his routine again.
It wasn’t just about ticking off tasks, it was about reclaiming balance and enjoying the moments that truly mattered.
