@celesteedman
Experienced executive operations professional specializing in remote virtual support.
What I'm looking for
I am an executive operations and administrative professional with 15+ years supporting senior leaders, managing complex projects, and coordinating cross-functional initiatives in remote environments. I prioritize organization, confidentiality, and clear communication to keep leaders and teams aligned.
Throughout my career I have managed executive calendars, prepared executive-ready communications and reports, maintained CRM systems, and organized grant and compliance documentation. I regularly coordinate meeting preparation, follow-up, and stakeholder communications to ensure timely completion of initiatives.
I have held leadership and advisory roles across startups, nonprofits, and corporate environments, including CEO, C-suite, and strategic advisor positions where I built structured workflows, tracked deliverables, and supported commercialization and operational planning.
I am seeking a remote Virtual Assistant role where I can provide proactive, reliable operational support, streamline processes, and enable leaders to focus on strategic priorities.
