About us

Built by a Filipino, for the world.

Brihafe Digital Nomads is the VA team Ferdy Cortel wished existed when he first started freelancing. Small, sharp, honest, and genuinely obsessed with the businesses we serve.

Our story

Why Ferdy built this team.

Ferdinand "Ferdy" Cortel spent years as a solo Virtual Assistant, working with founders across the US, UK, and Australia. He kept seeing the same story: businesses either couldn't find reliable VAs, or they hired generic freelancers who ghosted after a month.

So he did what any good operator would do: he built the team himself. Brihafe Digital Nomads is a hand-picked crew of 16 skilled Filipino VAs, all personally trained and coached by Ferdy, all held to the same standard he holds himself to.

We're not a call center. We're not a body-shop marketplace. We're a small, tight team that treats your business like our own.
