Blessing Akpe
@blessingakpe
Virtual Assistant and administrative professional delivering AI-augmented executive support and reliable data operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Virtual Assistant and administrative professional with over 8 years of experience supporting complex humanitarian operations at the International Organization for Migration (IOM). I’m trusted for data management, logistics coordination, beneficiary registration and profiling, report writing, documentation, and executive/admin support—especially in fast-paced environments with minimal supervision.
Most recently, I’m transitioning into AI-augmented executive assistance, leveraging Claude AI, ChatGPT, and workflow automation tools like Zapier and Make to streamline processes and improve turnaround time. From maintaining accurate beneficiary profiles in the MIMOSA database to coordinating charter flight logistics and NFI inventory management, I bring disciplined SOP-driven work, strong confidentiality, and continuous operational improvement.
