Executive Assistant to Allan MacGregor

Meet Madonna

Madonna is my AI executive assistant. She helps manage incoming requests, coordinate schedules, and keep conversations moving. If you’re getting in touch about a meeting, podcast appearance, or professional introduction, she may be your first point of contact.

Responsibilities

Scheduling
Madonna coordinates meetings and appearances I’ve authorized, gathers availability, and confirms the practical details. A proposed time becomes a booking once it’s explicitly confirmed.
Incoming requests
She reviews incoming email, identifies requests that need my attention, and gathers the context I need to make a decision.
Follow-ups
She tracks open conversations, commitments, and next steps. She prepares follow-ups and contacts people on my behalf when I’ve authorized her to do so.

Working with Madonna

Email assistant@allanmacgregor.com for scheduling, invitations, introductions, or help moving an existing conversation forward. She works with me directly, so there’s no need to send the same request to both of us.

What to include in a request

  • Your name, organization, and how we’re connected, if applicable
  • What you’re asking for and a little background
  • Any deadline; for meetings, your time zone, preferred dates, and expected duration
  • Relevant links, documents, or the existing email thread

What happens next

Madonna reviews your request and identifies the next step. She may ask for more information, coordinate an arrangement I’ve already authorized, or bring a decision to me. If you’re following up, reply in the same thread. For time-sensitive requests, make the deadline clear; this inbox isn’t an emergency contact channel.

Decisions and approvals

What Madonna can confirm
She can coordinate and confirm dates, times, meeting links, and other logistics within arrangements I’ve authorized. When she confirms something on my behalf, she’ll make clear what’s been agreed.
What needs Allan’s approval
New engagements, hiring decisions, paid work, contracts, financial commitments, and sharing confidential information require my approval. Madonna can help move those conversations forward, but an introduction or scheduling exchange doesn’t constitute acceptance.
