what clients have to say about us

Margarita Sáenz Soto

Project Manager at Institute of International Education

We worked with Executive Concierge (EC) on a large-scale, complex event in Johannesburg for the Ford Global Fellowship (FGF) Program, involving 70 global fellows, Ford Foundation participants, as well as our program and logistics teams. There was unanimous praise for EC. Our entire team was incredibly impressed with the service, care, patience, and kindness of each member of the EC crew during the planning phase, before the event, but especially on the ground. The team were generous with their time and participation in team planning meetings, despite challenging time zones (spanning California, New York and South Africa). They were flexible, good-spirited, and always had a can-do attitude, which helped us feel 100% confident that our event was going to be implemented to the highest standard, with flourishes and texture relevant to our program. The fact that they are woman-owned and led is icing on the cake. We all wish we could work with EC in all locations where we hold our global events. They will be a tough act to follow.

"Chi-wah Chan from Exec Concierge was the friendly, efficient and perfect service.  Chi-wah is fast to respond, even outside of normal working hours,  and always provided this service with the efficiency that I needed.

Exec Concierge was an oasis in the desert!"

Fatima Hassan

Founder / Director of the Health Justice Initiative (HJI)

I have worked with the team at Executive Concierge since its inception, and personally, with its owner and 'organiser extraordinaire', Chi-Wah Chan, for over 6 years. Executive Concierge's commitment to clients' needs and the teams professionalism is exceptional. Events, parties, conferences, meetings and tours are always superbly and timeously organised, with the support of other local entrepreneurs and a network that benefits the local economy. Without any hesitation, I can highly recommend Executive Concierge. They are innovative, hard working and a pleasure to work with.

"Executive Concierge is so much more than just logistics and event planning. Chi-wah Chan and her team go the extra mile to ensure that your event is perfect. No request is too big or to small, and her wealth of experience in this space means that she plans for every eventuality. Coupled with her professional and friendly disposition, provides absolute peace of mind.

Amazing company that will make any event, or daunting logistical affair a breeze! Chi-wah Chan has super powers!"​

Yasmin Carrim

Tribunal Member, Competition Tribunal of South Africa

"I have been utilising Chi-wah's services for the last three years. I have never encountered more thoughtful, professional and efficient services from any other service provider in my 25 year career. No request was unheeded and every comfort was taken care of despite challenging and often difficult circumstances. Advance planning and emergency solutions were all effected with charm, dignity and kindness. I would highly recommend her company."

Prof Edgar Pieterse

Director of the African Centre for Cities

"I have known Chi-wah Chan in various professional capacities since 2004. She has always struck me as a uniquely gifted person in that she can combine the highest levels of professionalism and efficiency with a deep sense of awareness of people and their humanity. Because of these qualities, she executes her work with precision and accuracy, but always with a keen eye on what people's changing needs and feelings might be, and through such anticipation goes beyond the call of duty or initial brief."​
