Akakpo Bediako
@akakpoderrickbediako
Detail-oriented virtual assistant with 4+ years in operations, procurement, and inventory support—organized, reliable, fast with digital tools.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented administrative and operations professional with 4+ years of experience supporting business operations across manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and retail. I focus on data management, record-keeping, scheduling, vendor coordination, and quality reporting, so day-to-day work stays accurate and on track.
In my current role as Production & Factory Supervisor at Yak Decor, I oversee daily operations, coordinate schedules, and maintain accurate production records—directly supporting the kind of calendar, file, and reporting responsibilities I bring to a Virtual Assistant role. I also manage procurement and supplier communications, follow up consistently, and lead a team while keeping documentation organized across multiple ongoing tasks.
Previously, I served as an Inventory Officer at Hog Pharmaceuticals Limited, where I performed data entry and stock reconciliation using QuickBooks to ensure records were always accurate and current. I coordinated with suppliers and internal teams to support smooth day-to-day administrative operations, and earlier as a Merchandiser at Dignity DTRT Apparel Group, I coordinated purchase orders and shipment logistics while maintaining detailed records.
I also have strong self-management skills from freelance work as a Mystery Shopper, where I independently manage assignments, deadlines, and detailed written reporting with no direct supervision. I’m comfortable working independently in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments, and I’m a fast learner who quickly adapts to new software and client systems.
