Executive business partner specializing in operations, executive support, and process improvement.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced Executive Business Partner and operations professional who enables senior leaders to focus on high-impact priorities by managing complex calendars, communications, and workflows. I thrive in remote and distributed environments supporting education, technology, and administrative functions.
Throughout my career I have improved organization and streamlined systems across startups and international teams, including developing SOPs, optimizing inbox and calendar flows, and supporting CRM-based lead tracking. I routinely coordinate travel logistics, stakeholder communications, and multi–time-zone scheduling to keep executives and projects on track.
My background includes virtual assistance, marketing & PR support, legal transcription, and program support for language education—demonstrating adaptability, confidentiality, and strong documentation skills. I have contributed measurable improvements in engagement, administrative efficiency, and cross-functional collaboration.
I bring proficiency with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, ClickUp, Notion, Asana and various CRM platforms, and I am fluent in English and Swahili. I am motivated by roles that let me build structure, streamline operations, and deliver reliable executive partnership in remote-first organizations.
