What I'm looking for

Senior EA, Ops, or Chief of Staff role with a founder or C-suite leader who wants a true strategic partner, not a calendar manager. Ideally at a growth-stage company where I lead cross-functional projects and build systems — spanning project management, operations, customer success, and HR.

I’m a Senior Executive Assistant, Operations, and Project Management partner with 5+ years supporting CEOs, founders, and senior leadership teams in fast-paced, growth-stage environments. I operate as a strategic right hand while also stepping in hands-on as an operations and project lead—especially when things need to move quickly and reliably.

My background spans executive support, project and program coordination, customer success and escalation management, and people/HR coordination (including hiring and onboarding support). Across venture studio, e-commerce, digital agency, and startup settings, I’ve managed calendars across time zones, prepared executive research briefs, coordinated stakeholder and partnership conversations, and built documentation and workflows that keep teams aligned.

I’ve also led cross-functional launch and rollout work—from global album rollout logistics and multi-market activation coordination to remote team scaling initiatives and customer experience optimization initiatives. As an independent consultant, I bring a client-facing, partnership-oriented approach supported by tools like Notion, Asana, Trello, Airtable, Slack, and HubSpot, and I’m trilingual in English, French, and Arabic.
