What I'm looking for

I'm looking to provide high-level bilingual executive and administrative support, coordinating calendars, travel, communications, meetings, and operations for senior leaders in a fast-paced organization.

I’ve supported General Managers, Vice Presidents, Directors, and senior leaders across Banco Ripley Perú, Crediscotia Financiera, and Scotiabank Perú. At Banco Ripley, I managed the General Manager’s complex calendar and coordinated more than 250 internal and external meetings annually across multiple time zones.

My responsibilities included domestic and international travel coordination, executive meetings, committee logistics, event planning, communications, expense processes, purchase orders, and confidential documentation. I work fluently in English and Spanish, preparing reports, presentations, translations, and executive correspondence.

At Crediscotia Financiera, I supported territorial and business leadership by synchronizing executive calendars, arranging 80+ domestic trips per year, and ensuring training and vacation compliance for teams of over 50 employees. I also contributed to process improvements, budget monitoring, procurement, and petty‑cash accountability.

Earlier in aviation at Swissport GBH Peru, I coordinated flight permits, regulatory documentation for charter and VIP flights, airline billing, and travel operations. I bring 15+ years of organized, proactive support in fast‑paced financial services and international business environments.
