What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior executive support role where I can manage calendars and sensitive communications, coordinate high-level meetings, and drive procurement and operational efficiency with strong compliance and teamwork.

I am a Senior Executive Assistant with 10+ years supporting Cabinet Ministers and corporate executives, focused on keeping leaders fully aligned, informed, and on schedule. I manage diaries, coordinate high-level engagements, and communicate confidentially while ensuring smooth decision-making support.

I have coordinated 50+ ministerial and executive meetings monthly, including agendas and briefing notes for Cabinet and diplomatic missions. I also oversee procurement contracts valued at N$20M+, ensuring compliance with the Public Procurement Act and Treasury Instructions, while maintaining clear documentation and stakeholder readiness.

Operationally, I supervise fleet management for 30+ vehicles and drive cost reduction through better monitoring and reporting. I direct administrative teams of 5 staff and continuously improve turnaround times, supported by tools like SAP, NICOR, Pastel, MS Office, MS Teams, Zoom, and Google Workspace.
