I keep complex executive operations, schedules, travel, and stakeholder communications running smoothly.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting digital programme operations at Tecnologico de Monterrey Business School, coordinating onboarding, scheduling, learning platforms, and communication across global time zones.
Previously at Hewlett-Packard, I managed partner correspondence and scheduling across more than 10 countries, prepared meeting materials, processed claims, and supported team onboarding.
As Chief Operations Officer at Work and Travel Club, I ran calendars, inboxes, travel, expenses, budgets, and partner communications while making strategic decisions for a fast-growing organisation.
