In a world where time is a luxury, there's a unique service that caters to the ultra-wealthy, offering an exclusive glimpse into the lives of the 1%. Meet Erica Jackowitz, co-founder of Roman & Erica, a lifestyle management company that operates like a well-oiled machine, ensuring its clients' leisure time is seamlessly curated and tailored to their every desire.
The Ultimate Personal Assistant
At the heart of Roman & Erica lies a simple yet powerful concept: providing an all-encompassing personal assistant service for the leisure lives of its clients. From organizing travel and social events to managing yachts and private jets, no detail is too small or too extravagant. For a starting fee of $150,000 per year, clients gain direct access to Erica and her husband, Roman, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What sets Roman & Erica apart is their commitment to exclusivity. They choose to represent only a select few families at a time, ensuring each client receives personalized attention and feels like the only one. It's this attention to detail and deep understanding of their clients' needs that sets the company apart from traditional travel agents or concierge services.
A Day in the Life
Every day brings new challenges and exciting opportunities for Erica and her team. From last-minute dinner reservations at exclusive restaurants to organizing 'Sunday fun days' with full-scale carnivals, no request is too big or too small. One memorable rescue mission involved sending a helicopter to extract a client's friends from an uncomfortable situation on a yacht in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Power of Passion
Erica's journey into the world of lifestyle management is an inspiring one. Trained as a lawyer, she found her true calling in combining her passions for travel, restaurants, and good food with her natural problem-solving skills. Her adrenaline rush comes from tackling seemingly impossible tasks and finding creative solutions.
A Global Lifestyle
The nature of the business allows Erica and her team to live and work in different parts of the world. During the summer months, they often find themselves in Europe, catering to their clients' summer getaways. Erica turns a hotel cabana into her office, blending her work and personal life seamlessly.
The Future of Luxury
Roman & Erica represents a growing trend in the luxury service industry, where exclusivity and personalization are key. As the world becomes increasingly fast-paced and demanding, the need for services that simplify and enhance leisure time will only grow.
In my opinion, companies like Roman & Erica offer a glimpse into a future where luxury is defined not just by material possessions, but by the ability to live a curated, stress-free life, where every moment is designed to be enjoyed to the fullest.
