Mollie Whichello
@molliewhichello
I’m an executive assistant and communications professional supporting directors with board materials, calendars, travel, and strategic PR.
What I'm looking for
I deliver executive support to senior leadership, managing “a demanding calendar,” confidential correspondence, and “multi-time zone travel,” while preparing board-level materials, agendas, and briefing documents that are accurate and timely for strategic decision-making. I’m proactive in anticipating needs in “dynamic, high-pressure” environments, keeping clear communication lines and independently resolving issues to protect leadership time.
Alongside my executive-assistant work, I bring communications expertise from “globally recognised organisations,” including leadership roles in strategic messaging and campaigns that enhanced visibility and influence. At Cambridge University Press & Assessment, I also initiated and oversee a global internal Microsoft Teams site for a 300-member team, and I leverage AI tools to improve document creation, research, and routine administrative workflows—always aiming for efficientoperations within productive hybrid models.
