@kellybyrne
Experienced executive assistant delivering confidential, efficient executive support.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced executive assistant with a strong background in managing complex schedules, coordinating high-level meetings, and handling confidential information with discretion. I consistently support senior executives to optimize their time and decisions.
Throughout my career I have managed executive calendars, coordinated travel and events, prepared presentations and minutes, and served as a liaison between departments to improve communication and productivity. I have supported CEOs, VPs, presidents and clinical leaders across corporate, healthcare and defence sectors.
My accomplishments include negotiating travel and accommodation savings, organizing large-scale logistics for 215 technicians at the 2010 Olympics, authoring an employee handbook, and spearheading health and safety programs and committees. I bring strong organization, problem-solving, and time-management skills to every role.
I am dependable, resourceful and team-oriented, with experience in administrative process improvement, HR support, committee coordination and meeting facilitation. I thrive in fast-paced environments where confidentiality, accuracy and collaboration are essential.
