Ava Nadel

I’m an executive support and operations professional who genuinely enjoys bringing structure to fast-moving environments. Throughout my career, I’ve found that my strengths lie in partnering with senior leaders, coordinating complex projects, improving operational processes, and building systems that help teams work more effectively. I enjoy being the person who keeps the details organized so that others can focus on the bigger picture.

My experience has spanned executive support, operations, event planning, project coordination, recruiting support, onboarding, and systems management across nonprofit organizations, consulting engagements, and higher education. I’ve worked closely with executives, boards, external partners, vendors, and cross-functional teams, managing everything from complex calendars and travel logistics to organization-wide events and operational workflows. One of the aspects of my work I enjoy most is identifying opportunities to improve how work gets done, whether that means creating new tracking systems, streamlining processes, or strengthening communication across teams.

I earned my master’s degree from New York University, where I developed a strong appreciation for collaboration, thoughtful problem-solving, and mission-driven work. Professionally, I’m looking for opportunities to continue growing as an executive support and operations professional while contributing to organizations that value initiative, curiosity, and continuous improvement.

Outside of work, I’m an avid runner who has completed multiple marathons and ultramarathons. I also love traveling, spending time outdoors, exploring botanical gardens and museums, and discovering new places through their food and local culture. I bring that same curiosity and enthusiasm into my professional life and enjoy environments where I’m constantly learning something new.
