Before founding TheLAoffice, Janna Bryan spent years doing the work that most people think of as someone else's job. She directed international programming strategy for ASTRO Television in Kuala Lumpur, overseeing children's content across Southeast Asia. She came back to Los Angeles and spent seven years as an Associate Producer on Jimmy Kimmel Live, managing multi-million-dollar production budgets and the kind of operational complexity that comes with producing live television five nights a week.
She started TheLAoffice in 2009 on a premise she had earned firsthand: that a business running across time zones, markets, and cultures cannot afford to treat operations as an afterthought. Effective businesses run continuously—they need infrastructure that works while the founder sleeps, and a partner who understands that the operational layer is not overhead. It is the business.
That international perspective is baked into everything TheLAoffice does. Having lived and worked across Asia, Europe, and the US, Janna brings genuine cross-cultural fluency to client work, not just operational support. She specializes in helping global businesses establish a credible, compliant, and effective presence in Los Angeles and throughout California, guiding international companies through US market entry with strategic counsel, business setup support, and corporate communications that translate across cultures.
The work has evolved alongside the technology. Janna holds AI certifications from Wharton and Duke and now builds custom AI agents and consulting frameworks alongside the executive assistance, web development, and digital strategy work TheLAoffice has always delivered. For clients who want to understand what AI can actually do for their business, not just the pitch version, she builds and deploys the systems herself.
TheLAoffice is not a platform or a staffing agency. It is a small, expert practice with a 15-year track record, and Janna is personally involved in every client relationship.
