Peninah Waithira

I’m a results-oriented Executive Assistant with a proven track record supporting C-level executives and managing high-stakes operations. I’m forward-thinking, technically proficient, and focused on seamless coordination for top-tier clients internationally.

In my most recent role at Laheri, I managed complex agendas and international travel logistics using Google Calendar and Zoom. I ensured smooth coordination across multiple time zones, keeping stakeholders aligned and schedules on track.

Prior to that, at Jumia, I strengthened business judgment and analytical skills by optimizing business processes. By leveraging tools like Salesforce and Urban Ninja, I increased operational efficiency by 30% and improved vendor compliance from 70% to 90%.

I bring strong communication excellence through vendor relations and customer service, including drafting professional business correspondence. With my background in finance as a CPA 4 candidate, I maintain confidentiality and precision when handling sensitive information, while delivering dependable C-level support in fast-paced environments.
