What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an Executive Assistant/Operations role where I can support senior leaders, coordinate cross-functional teams, improve workflows, and manage travel, meetings, and project follow-through with discretion in fast-paced international settings.

I’m a highly organised Executive Assistant and Operations professional with 8+ years supporting senior executives, coordinating cross-functional teams, and improving organisational efficiency across international environments.

In my current role as an Executive Assistant & Operations Manager at Kevlar International Properties (Dubai), I manage calendars, meetings, travel arrangements, confidential administration, and executive communications—while preparing reports, presentations, agendas, and business documentation. I also track projects, action items, and deadlines to ensure timely execution.

I manage company operations across Sales, Marketing, Customer Service, Telesales, and Property Management, and I develop and improve operational workflows to increase efficiency and accountability. I oversee property listing management and lead tracking, support cross-border coordination between the UAE and Kenya, and assist with recruitment, onboarding, and internal process documentation.

Previously at Thinkard Limited (Nairobi) as a Business Development Manager, I owned key client relationships, supported proposals and presentations, maintained CRM records, and contributed to market research, partnership development, and revenue growth initiatives. Earlier, as an Executive Assistant at African Union (AU-IBAR), I supported senior leadership with complex calendar management, event coordination, briefing papers, and confidential record handling.
