I’m a proactive Executive Assistant with 10+ years supporting founders and C-suite leaders across international, fully remote environments. I’m expert in complex calendar and inbox management, stakeholder coordination, and multi time zone logistics, and I protect executive focus by streamlining processes and SOPs. In past operations work, I managed expense tracking and invoicing in QuickBooks, improved month-end accuracy to 99%, closed books 3 days faster, and reduced operational spend by 12% through supplier consolidation.

In my current part-time role as Executive Assistant to a Founder & C Suite, I orchestrate weekly and quarterly rhythms, own agendas, materials, minutes, and action tracking, and reduce scheduling conflicts by 30% through multi time zone executive calendars. I triage executive inboxes to a 4-hour response SLA during business hours, prepare board-level briefs and reports, and coordinate domestic/international travel with measurable cost savings (R18,000/year). I bring a discreet, accurate, anticipatory approach—especially in fast-moving, high-growth settings—backed by SOP development, compliance administration, and executive-ready communication.
