Joy Njuki
@joynjuki
I’m a C-suite executive assistant who streamlines operations and travel with discretion.
What I'm looking for
I’m a proactive Executive and Virtual Assistant with 5+ years partnering directly with C-suite leaders, directors, managers, and founders across logistics, recruitment, travel, and operations. I’m known for anticipating needs before they become problems, managing high-stakes schedules without gaps, and handling sensitive information with absolute discretion.
In my most recent roles, I’ve built and run client-facing travel operations from the ground up—owning consultations, GDS bookings, changes, cancellations, and real-time disruption support across time zones. I’ve improved outcomes through workflow design (including client record systems, commission tracking, and centralized scheduling), delivering a 95%+ client satisfaction benchmark, plus measurable growth through tailored package deals.
I also strengthen how teams work: I’ve supported recruitment compliance through high-volume candidate coordination, reduced onboarding time by streamlining processes, and decreased miscommunication with standardized reporting templates. From executive expense reconciliation (including identifying discrepancies that contributed to ~KES 1M savings) to SOP documentation, SLA management, and board-level briefing notes, I bring emotional intelligence and fast execution to help leaders stay focused on growth while operations run smoothly.
