@beatricemaina2
I keep executives focused through proactive operations and executive support.
What I'm looking for
At Ascend Together, I support the COO across changing priorities, multiple locations, and time zones. I manage calendars, travel, executive communications, expenses, meetings, and operational initiatives.
I use AI-powered productivity tools to automate recurring workflows, develop standard operating procedures, and improve documentation. I also manage expense reporting and reconciliation for a six-member leadership team using Ramp and Workday.
Previously, I supported the Vice President at Commonwealth Business Women Africa through scheduling, travel, correspondence, research, briefing materials, and strategic follow-through. I represented executive leadership in meetings, captured decisions, and drove accountability across stakeholders.
My experience also includes programme coordination, entrepreneur onboarding, pitch forums, banking operations, and process improvement. I bring clarity, structure, discretion, and sound judgment to fast-moving executive environments.
