At Acclivity, we know what it’s like to build something big while managing everything behind the scenes. You’re leading the vision, making the hard calls, and trying to keep your calendar—and your sanity—intact. We’ve been there, and it’s exactly why we built this company.
Behind Every Great Founder Is the Right Kind of Support
Our team exists to take the weight off. We’re operators, advisors, and deeply trusted partners who know how to help founders move faster by doing less. Whether you’re scaling a SaaS company, running a creative agency, or leading a mission-driven coaching brand, we bring a mix of calm, clarity, and executional muscle you can count on.
This isn’t about handing off a to-do list. It’s about stepping into a better way of leading—one where your time, energy, and attention go toward the things that matter most.
Meet the women behind Acclivity.
Joyce Cruz
Joyce Cruz is the operational force behind Acclivity’s commitment to high-performance support. With over 20 years of experience building teams and shaping culture across industries, she brings a rare mix of people-savvy leadership and systems thinking to her role as Co-Founder.
Joyce’s career began in the fast-paced fashion industry, where she mastered the art of multitasking across production, sales, and client service for nationally recognized brands. She later supported C-suite executives in private equity, where she led the recruitment, training, and development of elite administrative teams—setting a gold standard for operational excellence behind the scenes.
At Acclivity, Joyce is the architect of the experience behind the experience. She ensures every Virtual Executive Assistant is not just detail-oriented and proactive, but deeply aligned with the values and pace of the visionary founders they support. From hiring and mentoring to systems optimization and team enablement, Joyce plays a central role in making sure Acclivity clients get not just more time—but more trust in the people and processes that support them.
Her mission?
To create a culture where both clients and team members feel supported, seen, and empowered to lead from their highest value zone.
Joyce lives in New York City with her family and thrives in the rhythm of fast-moving environments where precision, empathy, and excellence intersect.
Patty Giacobbe
Patty Giacobbe is the integrator behind Acclivity’s innovation—translating big-picture vision into operational flow that founders can trust. With a background in high-level executive support and corporate accounting, Patty brings precision, calm, and structure to the fast-moving world of entrepreneurial leadership.
Before co-founding Acclivity, Patty supported senior executives across industries where the stakes were high and the margin for error was slim. Her unique ability to anticipate needs, manage complexity, and lead with both empathy and efficiency made her the go-to partner for high-performing leaders who couldn’t afford to drop a ball.
Today, Patty shapes the internal systems, client experience, and delivery standards that allow Acclivity to serve as a true strategic extension of its clients’ teams. Whether supporting a visionary coach launching a new offer, an agency owner navigating team growth, or a SaaS founder scaling toward investment readiness—Patty ensures that the details don’t derail the momentum.
What sets her apart?
An eye for what matters, a pulse on what’s next, and a deep belief that great support doesn’t just make life easier—it makes leadership better.
