THE LIFESTYLE DESK · THE PEOPLE WHO RUN YOUR WORLD
Sourced, vetted, introduced —
engaged on your terms.
We source, vet, introduce and manage the senior people who run your world — chief of staff, estate and lifestyle managers, security, pilots and yacht captains. Engage us for a single introduction, or let us run the desk.
Everything arranged. Nothing announced.
THE OFFER
Two ways in: a single introduction, or a desk we run for you.
For as long as you're a member, the search never closes.
The Introduction is one senior professional, introduced once — you take it from there through your own office, with no membership. The Lifestyle Desk is a membership: we run the desk for you, with continuous search across the roles you need and the professionals, contracts and relationships managed for as long as you're a member. We answer only to you.
CONTRACT AND VENDOR MANAGEMENT
Senior independents, engaged on defined terms.
We manage everything in between.
The best professionals in this field run their own practice. The Lifestyle Desk brings them to your household on a defined contract, with scope, availability and standards set before day one, and OUIJETS conducts the whole. If you'd rather manage a role through your own office, The Introduction is a one-time introduction — no membership.
SOURCING & VETTING
Senior independents only, ten years or more in the seat. Credentials, references and insurance verified before any introduction.
CONTRACT NEGOTIATION
Scope, availability and standards set by you before day one, so expectations are ones everyone can meet.
CONTRACTS & ADMINISTRATION
The paperwork and administrative detail, handled quietly on your behalf.
QUALITY CONTROL
We hold the standard at every touchpoint, and the bench stands ready whenever a seat needs cover.
ROLES ON THE DESK
The senior seats, on a contract basis.

HOW IT WORKS
Methodical search — end to end.
01
Source
We map the role to your household and source from our vetted network of senior professionals, each with 10+ years in the role.
02
Interview & Vet
We interview, reference, and background-check before you see anyone.
03
Present
We present a short, curated slate — only professionals we would engage ourselves.
04
Introduce & Engage
We introduce your chosen professional, execute the contract you set, and manage onboarding.
05
Continuity
If it doesn't work out, we keep searching for as long as your membership is active.
CONTINUITY
Membership is scaled to your desk — one role or several — and for each, the search is ongoing, not a single introduction. Every engagement deepens our understanding of your world — its people, its rhythms, its time zones — and every professional we meet along the way remains within our network, vetted to your standard. Whether a role calls for a fortnight or a season, at home or abroad, continuity is prepared before it is needed. We manage the professionals, the contracts and every touchpoint, for as long as you're a member.
Your terms, from day one. You set the scope, the standard and the length of every engagement — and you remain in control of it throughout.
