Reliable Virtual & Executive Assistant | Streamlining Operations and Maximizing Productivity
What I'm looking for
I am a highly organized and proactive Executive Assistant with over 4 years of experience supporting C-suite and senior leadership in fast-paced environments. My expertise lies in managing executive calendars, coordinating over 20 meetings monthly, and streamlining workflows, which has resulted in a 15% reduction in operational time. I am trusted with confidential communication, travel logistics, and high-level stakeholder coordination, ensuring that executives can focus on their core responsibilities.
In my previous role as Executive Assistant to the CEO at Revolution Wheel Automotive, I managed complex calendars, arranged over 100 meetings, and increased executive efficiency by 30%. I also oversaw travel planning, which reduced expenses by 15% through strategic bookings. My experience in maintaining online presence and supporting general operations has equipped me with the skills necessary to contribute effectively to any executive team.
With a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Finance, I have a solid educational foundation that complements my practical experience. I am eager to leverage my administrative expertise and professional integrity to support executive productivity in a dynamic organization.
