What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strategic support and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a dynamic and results-driven Executive Assistant with over 18 years of experience supporting C-suite executives across international markets, including the UK, US, and South Africa. My expertise lies in executive administration, strategic calendar and travel management, HR coordination, and project execution. I am known for my ability to anticipate needs, ensure operational continuity, and deliver exceptional support with discretion and agility.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed complex calendars, coordinated high-stakes meetings, and supported ongoing sustainability initiatives. My role at Sustainable Port Association exemplifies my commitment to driving executive efficiency and organization, where I provide high-level administrative support remotely. I have a proven track record of enhancing communication across global teams and improving operational processes, which has led to significant cost savings and increased productivity.
