What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote role supporting C-suite leaders where I can run operations, protect focus time, and automate workflows end-to-end with CRM, dashboards, SOPs, and cross-functional execution—so teams move faster with fewer bottlenecks.

I’m an Executive Assistant, Operations Manager, and Chief of Staff professional with 10+ years of experience supporting C-suite executives and senior leadership across remote, multi-time-zone environments. I build operational infrastructure that makes leadership time more focused, predictable, and effective.

I’m especially strong in CRM management and revenue visibility—leveraging HubSpot and Salesforce to improve lead lifecycle clarity and strengthen pipeline oversight. I also lead calendar governance and board-level communications, creating the systems and documentation that keep stakeholders aligned.

My workflow automation is designed for measurable efficiency gains. Using Zapier, Make, and ChatGPT, I eliminate repetitive admin work, reduce scheduling conflicts, and speed up reporting through automated dashboards and structured data workflows.

I drive consistent execution through SOP development, onboarding coordination, and cross-functional project management with ClickUp and Asana. I’m trusted with sensitive investor presentations and confidential operational data, and I approach every engagement with discretion, reliability, and continuous improvement.
