Executive Virtual Assistant turning chaotic inboxes and schedules into clear, AI-powered operating systems for leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Executive Virtual Assistant and AI Workflow Strategist with 3+ years supporting C-suite executives, founders, COOs, and directors across logistics, nonprofit/NGO delivery, and education. I’m known for turning a chaotic inbox and calendar into a clear operating system that keeps leadership moving with confidence.
I’ve owned executive scheduling, meeting preparation, minute-taking, action-item tracking, confidential correspondence, and high-stakes cross-timezone coordination. I’m comfortable handling executive-level communication, last-minute logistics across continents, and sensitive reporting with full discretion.
On the operations side, I lead end-to-end project coordination—building SOPs, managing vendors and contractors, monitoring risk, and delivering stakeholder reporting. I’ve also supported grant proposal and donor reporting cycles, including compliance documentation and impact narratives, to help secure major funding outcomes.
To reduce executive overhead, I design automation systems with tools like Zapier and Make.com, connecting trackers to notifications and streamlining manual follow-up (including workflows that cut follow-up time by ~80%). I bring a systems mindset, clear documentation, and practical AI-assisted drafting/research to help leaders get their time back while maintaining continuity across priorities.
