What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote role where I can own executive email, calendars, CRM tracking, and project coordination for startup founders—across time zones. I want a client-first environment with clear processes (SOPs) and measurable operational impact.

I’m a results-driven Virtual Executive Assistant with 12+ years of international operations experience, now specializing in remote executive support for startup founders. I bring a client-first mindset and a proven ability to manage multiple stakeholders while keeping work flowing smoothly.

In my freelance trade finance roles, I’ve owned high-volume email correspondence and follow-up sequences, keeping a 100% response rate within 24 hours. I coordinate executive calendars and stakeholder meetings across time zones using Google Calendar and Zoom, and I support lead generation through targeted cold email campaigns.

I’m especially strong in CRM administration and reporting—managing client pipelines, maintaining accurate CRM records, and producing weekly progress reports for management review. I’ve also helped onboarding by negotiating tailored pricing solutions, onboarding 4 new clients, and improving retention by 10%.

I balance structured execution with clear communication: I use SOP creation, async team communication, and project tracking to streamline workflows and reduce friction. With hands-on certifications in email management, scheduling, customer support, and Zendesk, I’m ready to deliver operational efficiency with consistent, dependable follow-through.
