What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can drive deal origination and business development while using my execution strength in stakeholder support, process improvement, and confidential operations. I want to work with a fast-moving team across Europe or North America.

I’m an investment associate with 8+ years of experience spanning executive support, office administration, and HR coordination. I bring an analytical, detail-oriented approach to managing complex schedules, keeping confidential information secure, and driving work forward in fast-paced environments.

In recent roles, I’ve owned deal origination and business development activities, including proactive outreach to founders, management teams, and intermediaries to originate opportunities. I also support screening and evaluation through initial commercial assessment and strategic fit analysis, while building relationships across industry participants, advisors, and investment banks to develop proprietary deal flow.

Previously, as an Executive Assistant and Administrative Manager, I managed calendars and email systems with meticulous attention to detail, coordinated domestic and international travel, and handled documentation and stakeholder support. I processed invoices and expenses in Zoho Books and supported finance-related workflows like filing GST and professional tax returns.

On the HR side, I supported end-to-end onboarding, drafted offer and experience letters, coordinated telephone and in-person interviews, and managed background verification. I’m now focused on combining operational excellence with investment-driven decision-making to help identify and advance high-quality opportunities.
