Message

Executive Assistant and operations leader with 10+ years supporting C-suite executives — including simultaneous support for multiple senior leaders across Product, Engineering, and Data — at high-growth startups and tech companies. Owns calendars and travel as strategic resources rather than scheduling tasks, plans and runs in-person events ranging from small leadership sessions to company-wide gatherings of 300+, and builds AI-assisted workflows to cut manual work rather than just using AI day to day. Known for staying ahead of a leadership team's needs, pushing back when a process isn't working, and handling sensitive information with complete discretion across fast-moving, ambiguous environments. Trusted by the same executive across HubSpot, Thrive Global, and Day AI.
