What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing strategic executive support to C-suite leaders in a collaborative, remote-friendly environment where I can lead operations, optimize workflows, and support growth.

I am an Executive Assistant with over 18 years' experience enabling C-suite leaders across the UK, US, and South Africa to operate at peak efficiency. I specialize in executive administration, international calendar and travel management, board engagement, HR and recruitment, and high-stakes project coordination, and I have a proven track record of streamlining operations, safeguarding confidentiality, and driving cross-border collaboration.

I have supported multiple global executives and produced board reports and executive packs that informed strategic and financial decisions, led recruitment and onboarding initiatives that reduced time-to-hire, and coordinated leadership summits and events to boost alignment and morale. I am tech-savvy with core admin and collaboration tools and consistently deliver accurate scheduling, cost savings, and compliant documentation across distributed teams.
