What I'm looking for

I seek a role supporting senior leadership in a collaborative, growth-oriented company where I can drive operational efficiency, manage high-impact projects, and expand client or partner relationships.

I am a multilingual executive and administrative professional with over five years of experience supporting C-suite leaders across finance, consulting, and tech environments. I specialize in complex calendar management, cross-functional project coordination, and enhancing operational efficiency in remote and hybrid settings.

In client-facing roles I cultivated and maintained relationships with top institutional PE/VC accounts, drove 30% quarterly revenue growth, and led contract negotiations, RFQs, and accounts receivable processes. I have also managed buy-side portfolios and supported treasury and investment operations in Paris-based roles.

As an assistant and head of financial and research projects, I supported board-level reporting, led large-scale event planning and execution (including a major automotive award), and developed multimillion RMB business opportunities through proposal writing and partnership management. I am fluent in English, Mandarin, and French and comfortable liaising across global stakeholders.

I bring practical tool expertise (Excel, PowerPoint, Slack, Notion, Salesforce, FactSet, QuickBooks, SAP) and a results-driven mindset to roles that require discretion, strong communication, and the ability to drive projects from conception to delivery.
