## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m seeking a fully remote, high-trust role partnering with senior leaders and helping a globally distributed team operate effectively. My ideal opportunity offers APAC location flexibility, autonomy and scope to contribute beyond traditional administration through executive operations, stakeholder coordination and process improvement.
```

## About

```text
I’m a Senior Executive Assistant and Executive Business Partner with 15 years of experience supporting senior leaders across global technology, consulting, green energy, mining and professional services environments.

I currently partner with a Chief General Counsel and support the operations surrounding a 40-person legal function spanning APAC, LATAM, Africa, the USA and the UK. My role encompasses complex executive priorities, stakeholder relationships, communications, international travel and financial administration, including oversight of a $12–15 million annual departmental budget and delegated authority up to $2 million.

I joined Fortescue Future Industries during the early global scale-up of its green-energy business, giving me experience working across rapidly evolving structures, distributed teams and shifting priorities. Earlier in my career, I supported four Managing Directors at Accenture, further developing my ability to coordinate effectively across global and technology-led environments.

I’m known for sound judgement, discretion and creating structure around busy executives. I enjoy improving workflows, removing operational friction and building trusted stakeholder relationships that protect executive time and keep important work moving. I’m also an active user of AI and digital productivity tools, with a strong interest in improving how distributed teams communicate and operate.

I’m now seeking a fully remote Senior Executive Assistant, Executive Business Partner or Executive Operations opportunity with an internationally distributed organisation.
