I keep CEOs and founders focused by running complex executive operations.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I support CEOs and founders across the US, Kenya and internationally, owning complex calendars, executive inboxes, travel, board materials and follow-through. I work remotely from Nairobi across full US hours, ensuring priorities are handled before the executive day begins.
At Medical Media Solutions, I manage Dr. Mary Branch’s calendar, inbox, weekly interstate travel and content operations across her clinical practice and media business. I protect decision-making time, communicate in her voice and map contingencies before travel begins.
At EMS Enhanced, I built SOP-led coordination that reduced scheduling conflicts by 40%, expanded service offerings by 200% and doubled distributed-team efficiency. Earlier at Chronicle Group of Companies, I cut executive decision-prep time by 40% and reclaimed 20% of weekly executive bandwidth through board reporting, briefs and action tracking.
I build practical systems in Google Workspace, Make and ChatGPT to remove recurring administration. I’m trusted with confidential personnel, compensation and board-level work, and I work best with high ownership, clear outcomes and minimal oversight.
